CompilationErrorException when including System.Linq in Roslyn CP2
c#, compiler-construction, linq, roslyn
Solution
The engine needs a reference to the assembly that the System.Linq namespace is in (System.Core.dll)
engine.AddReference(typeof(System.Linq.Enumerable).Assembly.Location);
This needs to be done before the session is created.
Problem
I have downloaded the Roslyn CTP and have run across the following error.A CompilationErrorException is thrown when executing the line `session.Execute(@"using System.Linq;");` with the following message: (1,14): error CS0234: The type or namespace name 'Linq' does not exist in the namespace 'System' (are you missing an assembly reference?) My code is: ``` namespace RoslynError { using System; using Roslyn.Scripting; using Roslyn.Scripting.CSharp; internal class RoslynError { static void Main(string[] args) { var engine = new ScriptEngine(); Session session = engine.CreateSession(); session.Execute(@"using System.Collections;"); session.Execute(@"using System.Linq;"); Console.ReadKey(); } } } ``` I'm especially confused as to why the System.Linq line throws an error while System.Collections is fine.
