Can not find System.Windows Assembly.

Question

This is the error we get:

Error 1 The type 'System.Windows.Point' is defined in an assembly that is not referenced. You must add a reference to assembly 'System.Windows, Version=2.0.5.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=7cec85d7bea7798e'. C:\PacMan\PacMan\PacMan\PacManTests\UnitTest1.cs 65 13 PacManTests

We get this error in our unit test project which cant find the System.Windows Assembly but our main project can find the assembly and run it fine.

Does anyone have any input or advice on where or how we can reference System.Windows to fix this problem?

Answer 1

Right click on your "References" folder and click "Add Reference" and then select System.Windows under the .NET tab.

Answer 2

Add the assembly reference as you'd add any other framework assembly reference:

• Right-click on the project
• Select "Add reference"
• Select the .NET tab on the left, and find "System.Windows" in the list of assemblies
• Double-click on "System.Windows" and the assembly reference will be added

Answer 3

You have to add the reference to the project. If you're using Visual Studio, right-click the project in the Solution Explorer, and choose Add Reference...

Answer 5
