Missing assembly reference to NationalInstruments.TestStand.Utility in C# User Interface Example

[greg126]

I am trying to compile the C# simple user interface example using DevStudio 2008. I am getting an error though that says "The type or namespace 'Utility' does not exist in the namespace 'NationalInstruments.TestStand' pointing to the corresponding "using" statement in MainForm.cs.

Any suggestions?    

Thanks, Greg

Hello Greg,

Here is a Microsoft Developer Network link which describes this error. I found this link by typing "The type or namespace does not exist" in google.

Let me know if you have any other questions.

I think the assembly you need to browse to when adding the reference is:

<Program Files>\TestStand <version>\API\DotNet\Assemblies\CurrentVersion\NationalInstruments.TestStand.Utility.dll

I tried adding the reference to the project, but it appears that the assembly NationalInstruments.TestStand.Utilty does not exist on my computer. When I look in c:\windows\assembly I see NatioalInstrumentd.TestStand,Interop assemblies, but none for .Utility. I just ran a "Repair" installation of TestStand, but that did not fix the issue.

James -  Our messages crossed in flight. 

That was it. Thanks for the advice.
