C# (Visual Studio 2010) not finding an included reference

I'm trying to write code for forms without using MS Designer.

When I compile, I'm consistently getting the same errors:

The type System.ComponentModel.* is defined in an assembly that is not referenced.

This will appear for IComponent, ISynchronizeInvoke, and Component. I think I have referenced it.

I've tried removing the reference and re-applying it, and switching to earlier versions of .net. It has to be something in my environment, but I cannot find it. 

using System;
using System.ComponentModel;
using System.Windows.Forms;


public class EmptyForm : System.Windows.Forms.Form
{

    public EmptyForm()
    {
    }
    public static int Main()
    {
        Application.Run(new EmptyForm());
        return 0;
    }
}

To add a reference, just right click on References and choose Add Reference. There you can add the relevant references.

You have the using directive, but you are not referencing the assembly.

As the error clearly states, you need to add a reference to System.
