I just downloaded and installed Microsoft Enterprise Library 5.0. I fired up VS 2010 to play with EL 5 and created a very simple console application. However, it would not compile. I got the following error:
The type or namespace name 'Data' does not exist in the namespace 'Microsoft.Practices.EnterpriseLibrary' (are you missing an assembly reference?)
I added Microsoft.Practices.EnterpriseLibrary.Common, Microsoft.Practices.EnterpriseLibrary.Data, and Microsoft.Practices.Unity references to my project.
Here's the simple code that refuses to compile.
using Microsoft.Practices.EnterpriseLibrary.Common.Configuration.Unity;
using Microsoft.Practices.EnterpriseLibrary.Data;
using Microsoft.Practices.Unity;
namespace EntLib
{
class Program
{
static void Main(string[] args)
{
IUnityContainer container = new UnityContainer();
container.AddNewExtension<EnterpriseLibraryCoreExtension>();
var defaultDatabase = container.Resolve<Database>();
}
}
}
The error above complains about line #2 :
using Microsoft.Practices.EnterpriseLibrary.Data;
Someone probably will point out to a stupid mistake by me, but at the moment I fail to see it.
I tried to remove and add again Microsoft.Practices.EnterpriseLibrary.Data to refences but it didn't help.
