I'm using C#, EF 4 in asp.net 4 and VS 2010.
I'm trying to load namespace System.Data.Linq with this code using System.Data.Linq
and I receive this error:
Error 2 The type or namespace name 'Linq' does not exist in the namespace 'System.Data' (are you missing an assembly reference?)
Any idea what I'm doing wrong.
Right click your solution/project. Click Add Reference and search for System.Data.Linq and add the reference there and it should compile.
Just to confirm that Adding the reference to the project didn't work for me because it was already selected.
However, selecting "Copy Local, True" in the Properties pane for the reference made it start working.
That namespace is LINQ-to-SQL, so you'll also need to add a reference to System.Data.Linq.dll; it won't be added by default just by adding Entity Framework.
Try re-change target framework for your project.
Go to Proporties > Application > Target Framework change to another than used now, and next change it back.
VS Installer
The above answers didn't work for me, my problem was that I needed to add LINQ to SQL tools in Visual Studio.
For VS 2022 and project on .NET 6.0 --- Project \ Referencies \ search \ MindBox.Data.Linq, everywhere "OK", install (based on personnel expirience)
Also, may be, need install -- Referencies \MS.System.Linq.Queryable (or MS.Queryable, not remember)
After all action LinqToSQL will be work in project.

I've been attempting to connect a MySql database to my project in Visual Studio 2015. In order to connect it in the Server Explorer, I had to download and add the reference to my project. Easy peasy.
Then, when I attempted to follow this tutorial, I get this error message:
The type or namespace name 'MySqlConnection' could not be found (are you missing a using directive or an assembly reference?)
I have indeed added the assembly reference (I believe, if I understand the term correctly), by checking the MySql.Data in the References/Extension.
Am I using the wrong MySql.Data? How do I know which one? I've read that perhaps it can have to do with mixed versions of .NET Frameworks, but honestly I don't know how to check.
I'm an up-and-coming programmer, who before this, had only worked with static, hard-coded webpages, and never used databases in a project before.
EDIT: I have indeed added the 'using MySql.Data.MySqlClient to the same class file as I am attempting to use it in.
More information. What is displayed when I hover over the Data in MySql.Data.MySqlClient in the 'using' statements.
Your first screenshot shows the quickactions window suggesting that you use a fully qualified name, for the type, because it cannot determine where the type comes from.
Search to make sure that MySql.Data is not used, as a namespace, elsewhere in your project, so that it does not collide with the MySql.Data namespace from the dll you are referencing.
I'm trying to use DataAnnotations in my WPF project to specify a maximum length of strings, with the following:
using System.ComponentModel.DataAnnotations;
However, I get the error
The type or namespace name 'DataAnnotations' does not exist in the
namespace 'System.ComponentModel' (are you missing an assembly
reference?)
I've seen other examples where DataAnnotations does exist in this namespace. I'm using C#4. Is there any reason why I can't use this? What can I do to fix it?
You have to reference the assembly in which this namespace is defined (it is not referenced by default in the visual studio templates). Open your reference manager and add a reference to the System.ComponentModel.DataAnnotations assembly (Solution explorer -> Add reference -> Select .Net tab -> select System.ComponentModel.DataAnnotations from the list)
If using .NET Core or .NET Standard
use:
Manage NuGet Packages..
instead of:
Add Reference...
To Reference System.ComponentModel.DataAnnotations
In a code file to have Using System.ComponentModel.DataAnnotations; at the top of the file such as:
using System.ComponentModel.DataAnnotations;
Add a .NET reference to your project by right clicking the project in solution explorer:
Hope this helps! This question helped me.
If you don't have it in references (like I did not) you can also add the NuGet System.ComponentModel.Annotations to get the assemblies and resolve the errors. (Adding it here as this answer still top of Google for the error)
I also had the same problem and I resolved by adding the reference in one of my projects which didn't had the mentioned reference. If you have 2-3 projects in your solution, then check by adding this reference to the other projects.
I found that I cannot reference System.ComponentModel.DataAnnotations from Silverlight 5 with the below version at (1). I found that Silverlight 5 assemblies cannot use .NET assemblies, it gives the error "You can't add a reference to System.ComponentModel.DataAnnotations as it was not built against the Silverlight runtime. ..." I plan to workaround this by hopefully installing the Silverlight 5 package found at (2) below. If this fails I will update this post.
[UPDATE: it failed. I installed everything relating to Silverlight 5 and I don't have the Silverlight version of the .dll assembly System.ComponentModel.DataAnnotations . Too bad. UPDATE II: I found an old .dll having this name from a previous installation of Silverlight developer's kit for Visual Studio 2008 or 2010. I added this file and it seems to 'work', in that IntelliSense is now recognizing attributes on class members, such as [Display(Name = "My Property Name")]. Whether or not this works for everything else in this .dll I don't know.]

I searched for help on this topic as I came across the same issue.
Although the following may not be the Answer to the question asked originally in 2012 it may be a solution for those who come across this thread.
A way to solve this is to check where your project is within the solution. It turns out for my instance (I was trying to install a NuGet package but it wouldn't and the listed error came up) that my project file was not included within the solution directory although showing in the solution explorer. I deleted the project from the directory out of scope and re-added the project but this time within the correct location.
Use the FrameWork version 4.5 and above for your project then problem solved.Because this namespace is under 4.5 and above.
System.ComponentModel.DataAnnotations is contained in its own assembly so you need to make sure you have it refernced. Just simply:
1). Right click on Soloution and choose add.
2). Choose reference from the list.
3). Search " System.ComponentModel.DataAnnotation " and tick the check box on its left hand side and press ok.
Job done, shouldnt have any refernce errors.
If you tried to update visual studio from vs2008 to vs2010. And your app uses framework 3.5 (and you don't want to upgrade it), and also used WCF RIA Services BETA... I have bad news... you MUST upgrade to WCF RIA Services v1 (BETA does not work on vs2010)... and due to this... you also have to install Silverlight 4 + upgrade to framework 4.0
See this:
http://blog.nappisite.com/2010/05/updating-visual-studio-2008net-35-ria.html
I upgraded from Silverlight 4 to Silverlight 5 and then I was having this issue. Although I had a reference to "System.ComponentModel.DataAnnotations" under "References" in my project, it had a yellow yield sign by it that indicated the previously referenced assembly could not be found. It turned out that the properties of the "System.ComponentModel.DataAnnotations" reference indicated "Specific Version = True", when I changed this to "Specific Version = False" it fixed the issue. Right click on the "System.ComponentModel.DataAnnotations" assembly under "References" and select "Properties" from the context menu. Check that the property value for "Specific Version = False".
It must have been referencing the old Silverlight 4 assembly which was no longer available after the upgrade to Silverlight 5.
I also have this problem.
That is very stupid when i add a namespace the same with System. I try to remove all references, but it is not resolved. I use "global::System.ComponentModel", it is working as well.
When i remove my namespace, this problem has been resolved.
For .Net Core in Visual Studio 2019 try this.
see VS suggestion
It worked for me, hope it'll work for you as well.
I was moving from .Net Framework 4.7.2 to .Net Standard 2.0.
In my case, I had to change DataAnnotations's reference from an Assembly reference to a Nuget package.
This error occurs when the reference to the "System.dll" got removed.Solution to the problem is very simple add the reference to "System.dll".The dll is normally available in the following location
"C:\WINDOWS\Microsoft.NET\Framework\v2.0.50727" .Add the reference your problem will get solved .
There was a problem using System.ComponentModel.DataAnnotation in net40 so I just did:
#if !NET40
using System.ComponentModel.DataAnnotations;
#endif
#if !NET40
[StringLength(256)]
#endif
The NET40 must be a predefined macro definition for .Net Framework 4.0
I had same problem, I solved this problem by following way.
Right click on page, select Property. in build action select Content.
Hope that this solution may help you.
I want to connect through code c# with wamp mysql but have some problem...
Under MySql of this line
using MySql.Data.MySqlClient;
I have error
Error 1
The type or namespace name 'MySql' could not be found (are you
missing a using directive or an assembly reference?)
I have searched this problem from net but according to that solutions, my microsoft visual 2008 should have mysql.data and web.data in add reference but I don't have these references
If any one have any alternative solution then please help me
thanks
you need to run through the installation of the mysql connector libraries, then add a reference to them in your project. after that, you should be able to add the using statement for MySql.Data.MySqlClient.
You have to add MySQL as a reference.
http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/7314433t%28v=vs.80%29.aspx
Of course, you'll have to install/download them first.
Make sure that you have the necessary assemblies referenced in your project (in Solution Explorer there is a References section. You can view and add through that).
Also, if you do have the above complete, then you need to have using yourNameSpace;.
Why might "using System.Linq" cause the following error?
The type or namespace name 'Linq' does
not exist in the namespace 'System'
Reference System.Core
And then there are others that merge this namespace too - but that's the primary one on .Net 3.5 and above.
If you're project is currently .Net 2.0, say, and you're using the right version of VS (2005 and above) - you can simply right-click on the proejct properties; and change the 'Target Framework Version' to 3.5. System.Core will then become available.
If you don't see that in the options - then I guess you're using an older VS
The most probable reason is that you are using wrong version of .NET Framework.
Try to add System.Core assembly to your project
You'll get this error if you don't have "System.Core.dll" referenced (the assembly which contains the core LINQ APIs).
System.Linq is available in .Net 3.5 and above version.
Maybe you're targeting an older framework, Linq came in with 3.5 IIRC.
You are using lower version of .NET Framework than 3.5 to compile the source code or you don't have added the System.Core assembly to your project.
Manually type using System.Linq in the starting of the project, you will not be able to find this namespace in add reference dialogue box.
If you are still getting error then try to Add Reference System.Core.
If you are getting an error that it has been already referred then you can unload your project and then edit your csproject file, manually copy reference to System tag and paste and change the name to System.Core and reload the project.
In my case the only thing that worked was:
Adding a new Razor item (e.g. MVC 5 View Page)
That automatically pulls in some NuGet packages
The package that makes System.Linq available to Razor Views IntelliSense seems to be Microsoft.AspNet.WebPages.
I have added Microsoft.SqlServer.Management.Smo.dll reference to my project, but it still gives me the error below. The referenced dll is in C:\Program Files\Microsoft SQL Server\100\SDK\Assemblies path.
Error 25 The type or namespace name 'Smo' does not exist in the namespace 'Microsoft.SqlServer.Management' (are you missing an assembly reference?)
All the classes that I use such as Restore, Serer class under the Smo namesapce also throws the error.
Please advise.
Where are you consuming this from? Any chance you're using the client profile (under project properties -> Application -> Target Framework)? I've been caught out a number of times by that. If that's the case, it's usually as simple as selecting a non-client profile framework version.
Anyway, can we get some more detail about what kind of solution this is?
I have had the same problem, I noticed my project was targeting framework 3.
Changing to 3.5 or 4 helped solve the problem.
My reference are to
Microsoft.SqlServer.ConnectionInfo
Microsoft.SqlServer.Smo
Microsoft.SqlServer.Management.Sdk.Sfc
I think you have to add all 4 dlls (link):
Most of the classes
Microsoft.SqlServer.Management.Smo
namespace resides in the
Microsoft.SqlServer.Smo.dll and
Microsoft.SqlServer.SmoExtended.dll
files. Additionally, some of the
enumeration classes are in the
Microsoft.SqlServer.SqlEnum.dll and
Microsoft.SqlServer.SmoEnum.dll
assembly files. You will have to
import all four files to access all of
the classes in the
Microsoft.SqlServer.Management.Smo
namespace
If you are using Visual Studio 2008 then
Add References
Microsoft.SqlServer.ConnectionInfo
Microsoft.SqlServer.Smo
Microsoft.SqlServer.SmoEnum
Microsoft.SqlServer.SqlEnum
if still u got error
then add two more dll
microsoft.sqlserver.SmoEx...
Microsoft.SqlServer.ConnectionInfoEx...
Hope it will work
Thank you.
add reference to "Microsoft.SqlServer.Management.Sdk.Sfc.dll" from "C:\Program Files\Microsoft SQL Server\100\SDK\Assemblies" will eliminate this error.
