Error 'LoadImage Type' is not declared. It may be inaccessible due to its protection level

I got above error after copying and pasting some code from here, github. Will you guys help me to fix it? my code:

Imports Emgu.CV                 'usual Emgu Cv imports
Imports Emgu.CV.CvEnum          '
Imports Emgu.CV.Structure       '
Imports Emgu.CV.UI
Public Class frmMain
    Private Sub btnOpenFile_Click(sender As Object, e As EventArgs) Handles btnOpenFile.Click

The LoadImageType gives me some suggestions, I tried but didn't get helpful.

            imgOriginal = New Mat(ofdOpenFile.FileName, LoadImageType.Color)
        Catch ex As Exception                                                       
        CvInvoke.GaussianBlur(imgGrayscale, imgBlurred, New Size(5, 5), 1.5)
        CvInvoke.Canny(imgBlurred, imgCanny, 100, 200)
        ibOriginal.Image = imgOriginal              'update image boxes
        ibCanny.Image = imgCanny                    '
    End Sub
End Class

this is the error: enter image description here

These are my project files

Simply replace

LoadImageType.Color

with:

CType(1, ImreadModes)

As said by Jurjen, it's an integer only, BUT comes from the ImreadModes enum.

I notice you created your own class called LoadImageType.vb. However, LoadImageType is already a OpenCV enum. You get this error because you probably don't refer to this class at all or you don't initialize it (see also this link).

I would recommend you to remove this custom class that you created and use the OpenCV enum. This enum is located in the Emgu.CV.CvEnum namespace. Maybe specifically specify you want to use the CVEnum namespace:

imgOriginal = New Mat(ofdOpenFile.FileName, CvEnum.LoadImageType.Color)
'You can even try this
imgOriginal = New Mat(ofdOpenFile.FileName, Emgu.CV.CvEnum.LoadImageType.Color)

If this doesn't work, why don't you try to see if you can specifically enter a integer? The LoadImageType enum is nothing else then a conversion to a integer (see docs). So for color, you should enter value 1. If this works, you know something goes wrong with using the enumeration:

imgOriginal = New Mat(ofdOpenFile.FileName, 1)

If this still doesn't work, why don't you just use the imread method (see docs)? I always use that one without a LoadImageType enum and have no problems at all:

Dim img As Mat
img = CvInvoke.Imread(ofdOpenFile.FileName)

Or if you specifically want to use LoadImageType you can also try:

Dim img As Mat
img = CvInvoke.Imread(ofdOpenFile.FileName, CvEnum.LoadImageType.Color)
