I can't find System.Windows.Media namespace

assemblies, c#, dll, visual-studio-2012

Solution

`System.Windows.Media` is a namespace - most of the types within it are in the assembly `PresentationFramework.dll` or `PresentationCore.dll`.

You should look up whichever type you're interested in (via MSDN), and check which assembly it's in. You've got to distinguish between namespaces and assemblies - they're different concepts. You add a reference to an assembly as part of the project configuration, but specify the namespace in your source code (usually via a `using` directive).

Problem

I can't seem to find `System.Windows.Media` reference for my C# project. It is not there at all! Help and tips?
