The type or namespace name 'Microsoft.SqlServer.DacServices' could not be found (are you missing a using directive or an assembly reference

Microsoft.SqlServer.DacServices dll is referenced in a unit test project and the compiler is showing an error - The type or namespace name 'DacServices' could not be found. 
Although I referenced the dll file in the project visual studio is still errors out as a missing library. I have also tried downloading the file which has the library from http://www.microsoft.com/en-us/download/details.aspx?id=40735
by installing Microsoft Data-Tier Application Framework for SQl Server.
Please shade light on this.
Thanks,
Manny

Hi Manny_R,
According to your description and error message, before you installing Data-Teir Application Framework components, we need to verify if you choose the right version of Data-Tier Application Framework. For more information, see:
http://alexw.co.uk/2013/05/cannot-find-dac-assembly-microsoft-sqlserver-dac-dll/
In addition, Microsoft SQL Server  Data-Tier Application Framework requires Microsoft SQL Server System CLR Types, and Microsoft SQL Server Transact-SQL ScriptDom (SQLSysCLRTypes.msi and SQLDOM.msi). You need to install both SQLSysCLRTypes.msi
and SQLDOM.msi.
There is a detail about data-tier application (DAC) features in SQL Server 2012, you can review it.

  • The type or namespace name 'SPSite' could not be found (are you missing a using directive or an assembly reference?)_

    I am creating a Winforms application. I need to upload and download a file from Sharepoint.
     I have added reference to Microsoft.Sharepoint.Client.
    Below is the code to upload file:
    using System.IO;
    using Microsoft.SharePoint;
    private void Button_Click_1(object sender, RoutedEventArgs e)
                String fileToUpload = @"C:\Test.txt";
                String sharePointSite = "https://myshapoint";
                String documentLibraryName = "Test";
                using (SPSite oSite = new SPSite(sharePointSite))
                    using (SPWeb oWeb = oSite.OpenWeb())
                        if (!System.IO.File.Exists(fileToUpload))
                            throw new FileNotFoundException("File not found.", fileToUpload);
                        SPFolder myLibrary = oWeb.Folders[documentLibraryName];

                        // Commit 
                        myLibrary.Update();
    But i get the error "The type or namespace name 'SPSite' could not be found (are you missing a using directive or an assembly reference?)"
    I am not sure what else I am supposed to do here.

    Hi,
    If you want to develop a WinForm application to be only used in SharePoint Server, we can use Server-Side Object Model(use Microsoft.Sharepoint.dll) to achieve it. 
    If you want to use the WinForm application to be used both in Server side and Client Side, I suggest you use .Net Client Object Model(use Microsoft.Sharepoint.Client.dll) to achieve it.
    Here are two links for your reference:

    >>using IBM.WMQ
    It seems you are using third party dll namespace reference in your project but that dll is not being added in project. Please get the IBM.WMQ dll and add it first in your current visual studio project by right click on project-->add reference.
    You can place this dll in GAC or can directly add to project as suggested by jaydeep.
    Hope it could help

    Ok so I got the past that problem. I had to add the package System.Data.SQLite Core in Manage NuGet.
    Then I changed the auto-generated code "using SQLite" to "using System.Data.SQLite".
    But now I have a new problem, it says "System.Data.SQLite.SQLiteConnection' does not contain a definition for 'CreateTable' "
    Here is the code
    //This code was generated by a tool.
    //Changes to this file will be lost if the code is regenerated.
    //using SQLite;
    using System;
    using System.Data.SQLite;
    using System.Data.SQLite.EF6;
    namespace WindowsFormsApplication2
    public class SQLiteDb
    string _path;
    public SQLiteDb(string path)
    _path = path;
    public void Create()
    using (SQLiteConnection db = new SQLiteConnection(_path))
    db.CreateTable<servers>();
    public partial class servers
    public Int64 server_name { get; set; }
    public Double cpu_usage { get; set; }
    Any ideas why CreateTable is not available?

  • C# compiling error: 'System.Array' does not contain a definition for 'Select' and no extension method 'Select' accepting a first argument of type 'System.Array' could be found (are you missing a using directive or an assembly reference?)

    Hello experts,
    I'm totally new to C#. I'm trying to modify existing code to automatically rename a file if exists. I found a solution online as follows:
    string[] allFiles = Directory.GetFiles(folderPath).Select(filename => Path.GetFileNameWithoutExtension(filename)).ToArray();
            string tempFileName = fileName;
            int count = 1;
            while (allFiles.Contains(tempFileName ))
                tempFileName = String.Format("{0} ({1})", fileName, count++); 
            output = Path.Combine(folderPath, tempFileName );
            string fullPath=output + ".xml";
    However, it gives the following compilation errors
    for the Select and Contain methods respectively.:
    'System.Array' does not contain a definition for 'Select' and no extension method 'Select' accepting a first argument of type 'System.Array' could be found
    (are you missing a using directive or an assembly reference?)
    'System.Array' does not contain a definition for 'Contains' and no extension method 'Contains' accepting a first argument of type 'System.Array' could be
    found (are you missing a using directive or an assembly reference?)
    I googled on these errors, and people suggested to add using System.Linq;
    I did, but the errors persist. 
    Any help and information is greatly appreciated.
    P. S. Here are the using clauses I have:
    using System;
    using System.Data;
    using System.Windows.Forms;
    using System.IO;
    using System.Collections.Generic;
    using System.Text;
    using System.Linq;

    Besides your issue with System.Core, you also have a problem with the logic of our code, particularly your variables. It is confusing what your variables represent. You have an infinite loop, so the last section of code is never reached. Take a look 
    using System;
    using System.Collections.Generic;
    using System.Linq;
    using System.Text;
    using System.Threading.Tasks;
    using System.IO;
    namespace consAppFileManipulation
    class Program
    static void Main(string[] args)
    string fullPath = @"c:\temp\trace.log";
    string folderPath = @"c:\temp\";
    string fileName = "trace.log";
    string output = "";
    string fileNameOnly = Path.GetFileNameWithoutExtension(fullPath);
    string extension = Path.GetExtension(fullPath);
    string path = Path.GetDirectoryName(fullPath);
    string newFullPath = fullPath;
    string[] allFiles = Directory.GetFiles(folderPath).Select(filename => Path.GetFileNameWithoutExtension(filename)).ToArray();
    string tempFileName = fileName;
    int count = 1;
    //THIS IS AN INFINITE LOOP
    while (allFiles.Contains(fileNameOnly))

    //THIS CODE IS NEVER REACHED

    Hi
    According to the error message, please check that whether the target version of the .NET Framework of your application has been changed.
    Please do as follows:
    1. Make sure your project is target on .NET 3.5 .
    2. Add 
    the namespace in your code.(using Microsoft.Office.InfoPath)

  • The type or namespace name 'VisualStudio' does not exist in the namespace 'Microsoft' (are you missing an assembly reference?)

    we are using VS 2013. i have created new build definition and run that created build its getting failed and showing error message as "The type or namespace name 'VisualStudio' does not exist in the namespace 'Microsoft' (are you missing an assembly
    reference?)" and "The type or namespace name 'WinComboBox, UITestControl, WinTitleBar.....etc' could not be found (are you missing a using directive or an assembly reference?)". in the error log is showing the error number are "error CS0234
    & error CS0246". 
    Actually i have created build for automation execution from MTM lab environment. i have to assign the build to the test plan. once the build is passed , i will assign to the test plan and run with automation options. 
    if i build the solution its getting successfully build. but when i run the created build definition it show the error message's.  
    Could you guide me how to resolve the above error's ? 
    Thanks in Advance...

    Hello Divakar Ponnada,
    I have checked the error CS0234 from here:
    http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/0e92xd7b.aspx
    It means your project cannot find the proper reference to your type "Visual Studio" from the namespace Microsoft.
    May I ask this question, does your build definition means something like the following blog described?
    http://www.asp.net/web-forms/overview/deployment/configuring-team-foundation-server-for-web-deployment/creating-a-build-definition-that-supports-deployment
    "A build definition is the mechanism that controls how and when builds occur for team projects in TFS. "
    If that is the problem, may I ask whether your build agent is in the same machine where you build your application?
    The build agent will first search for the reference from its local GAC and if it cannot find it, the error like you said will reports. Please manually build your project from your build agent machine to see the result, or install Visual Studio to your build
    agent machine. In that way I think your problem may fixed.

  • Managed c++ class - The type or namespace name could not be found

    Hello,
    I have a managed c++ class library project with the following attribute:
        <TargetFrameworkVersion>v3.5</TargetFrameworkVersion>
    That library is used from a C# project. If I change the C# framework to 4 they both compile fine.
    If I set the C# framework to 3.5 the managed C++ class is not recognized and the C# project compilation fails with the following error :
    Error XXX The type or namespace name 'XXX' could not be found (are you missing a using directive or an assembly reference?) C:\XXX.cs 19 7 XXX
    Any idea about weird behavior? shouldn't it just work?
    The C# project is using basic stuff, the same for the C++ project.
    Cheers,

    Hello there,
    After searching for a while I found this: "Everything is ok when I use for example .net 4.5 in c# and c++, but c# must be using 3.5 version. I read that I need to build c++ library in older visual studio (i tried 2005 and 2008)" here:
    http://stackoverflow.com/questions/24364687/how-to-import-a-managed-c-library-to-c-sharp-app-target-net-version-3-5
    I think that part of that statement is true because when I inspect the added reference (i.e.: the managed C++ project reference -also known as wrapper- from the C# class library) I see in the property tab that the runtime property value is v4.0.30319
    -this is very weird, because the managed c++ project is set to compile with v3.5 and the same with the C# project but it seems that if VS2008 or VS2010 is not present then is compiled with the default version.
    Thanks,

    Hi,
        Just confirm that Target Frame work has been changed to 4.5 or not, if not changed it to 4.5 and give it a try.  Then also it gives error then check the SP reference, dll properties and check its version(it should be 15.0.).
    PS:-You can fine target framework under project properties->Application-> Target Framework.

  • Error on new windows 8.1 project: The type or namespace name 'Foundation' does not exist in the namespace

    I upgraded to win 8.1 and VS 2013. I created a new Windows 8.1 C# grid  project and tried to compile it and I'm seeing the  following error: Error 1 The type or namespace name 'Foundation' does not exist in the namespace [my namespace](are

    Windows phone and mvc projects are working fine and I've installed all the updates and even tried to fix vs 2013.
    Any help Is greatly appreciated.

    I did some more investigation and noticed that if I create an app with a "." in the name then this problem occurs. For example create a windows store project with the default name "App1": this will compile.
    However if I name the project "App1.Forms" to correspeond with the default namespace I want, then this problem occurs.  Still investigating but anyone should be able to repro it with that step.

    What happened?  Anybody know?

    We've gotten the same error at the same time. I guess we need to let this play out. In the meantime, I'm gonna update iTunes.

  • HT1473 iTunes message saying the song names for this cd could not be found online when it's iTunes store, What's up with that?

    I just purchased The Very Best Of Eagles CD, Popped it into my drive so excited to own the copy but when I tired to copy it to my Library I get this message saying the song names for this cd could not be found online when it's in the iTunes store, What's up with that?    Is there any way to get track information and artwork without Having to manually inter all the info?  

    iTunes gets track information from Gracenote's database, so iTunes must be able to reach gracenote.com and the CD must have been entered there by some purchaser already (all CD information in Gracenote is provided by we users). If these are common, commercially-distributed CDs, it may be that there is a firewall or privacy filter blocking access to gracenote.com. If these are unusual, independently-released or rare CDs, they just may not be in Gracenote yet. In the case of a custom CD where it's a compilation, Gracenote probably won't be able to identify them (it goes by complete albums, comparing the number and length of the tracks to try and figure out what album it is).
    Hope this helps.

  • The song names for this CD could not be found online

    I've been trying to copy some of my cds to itunes, but it does not recognize any of the track names. The error message: "The song names for this CD could not be found online. Do you still want to import the songs?"
    I've tried with a dozen CDs and is always the same.
