I copied and pasted the following VB.NET structure from the pinvoke website. http://www.pinvoke.net/default.aspx/Structures/BITMAPINFOHEADER.html However when I paste it into a module under the module name like this, VB.NET is telling me that a declaration is expected: Option Strict Off Option Explicit On Imports System Imports System.Diagnostics Imports System.Drawing Imports System.Drawing.Drawing2D Imports System.Runtime.InteropServices Imports System.Windows.Forms Module modDrawing StructLayout(LayoutKind.Explicit)>Public Structure BITMAPINFOHEADER <FieldOffset(0)> Public biSize As Int32 <FieldOffset(4)> Public biWidth As Int32 <FieldOffset(8)> Public biHeight As Int32 <FieldOffset(12)> Public biPlanes As Int16 <FieldOffset(14)> Public biBitCount As Int16 <FieldOffset(16)> Public biCompression As Int32 <FieldOffset(20)> Public biSizeImage As Int32 <FieldOffset(24)> Public biXPelsperMeter As Int32 <FieldOffset(28)> Public biYPelsPerMeter As Int32 <FieldOffset(32)> Public biClrUsed As Int32 <FieldOffset(36)> Public biClrImportant As Int32 End Structure Where did I go wrong, please? Thank you very much.
