You are trying to reference System.Net from mscorlib. mscorlib is special. Every other meaningful assembly depends on it.
I know about at least two obstacles you would have to solve if you want to reference other assemblies from mscorlib: - You would have to solve the circular dependencies in the build system. This is doable: you can build mscorlib without your piece of code, then build System.dll, then rebuild mscorlib again with your piece of code. - The much harder problem would be to fix the loader to handle references to other assemblies from mscorlib. I guess you would hit the problem with mscorlib being loaded into the system domain, but not being able to load other assemblies into the system domain. I think the right thing to do in your case is to move your code into separate assembly, and dynamically load this assembly from mscorlib. This technique is used in mscorlib to solve problems like yours. See LoadISymWrapper() in sscli\clr\src\bcl\system\reflection\emit\assemblybuilder.cs for simple example. -Jan This posting is provided "AS IS" with no warranties, and confers no rights. -----Original Message----- From: Ezequiel Alabaça [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Wednesday, March 19, 2003 2:55 AM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Importance: High Hi. I have already referenced System.Net but when I compile the compiler gives me an error: "The type or namespace name 'Net' does not exist in the class or namespace 'System' (are you missing an assembly reference?)." I'm using this namespace in sscli\clr\src\bcl\system\runtime\remoting\realproxy.cs. How can I add this reference when compiling Rotor? Thank's in advance. Ezequiel Alabaça
