[41CL] Trouble compiling CLWriter.cs
Message #1 Posted by Dan Grelinger on 16 Feb 2013, 5:42 p.m.

I have the correct version of .NET on my device it appears, and I execute this command:

C:\WINDOWS\Microsoft.NET\Framework\v4.0.30319\csc.exe /t:exe CLWriter.cs

The compiler starts, but it outputs the following error message:

"CLWriter.cs(3,17): error CS0234: The type or namespace name 'Ports' does not exist in the namespace 'System.IO' (are you missing an assembly reference?)"

Any help on getting a compiled version of CLWriter.exe?

Hello Dan,

I just tried it with Visual C# 2008 Express Edition (.NET 3.5) and it's working.

I have created a solution called CLTools and inside it I have created 2 projects one for CLReader and one for CLWriter.
They both compile and execute correctly.

I also tried the following command lines ...
C:\WINDOWS\Microsoft.NET\Framework\v3.5\csc.exe /t:exe CLReader.cs
C:\WINDOWS\Microsoft.NET\Framework\v3.5\csc.exe /t:exe CLWriter.cs
They both compile and execute correctly.

I also tried you're command lines and I got the same error as you.
So we are both missing the Ports library of the .net 4.0 framework.
I have checked the online .net framework documentation and it's still supported.
So we just need to find/download/install the missing library.
I will get back to you when I have found it

Best regards

Sylvain

Found it!

Microsoft .NET Framework 4 (Standalone Installer)
http://www.microsoft.com/en-in/download/details.aspx?id=17718

a) download the installer file
b) run the installer
c) do a windows update
d) reboot
e) retry your command and it should work (it worked on mine)

Best regards,

Sylvain

Thank you! I got the download to work! I can now use the serial port to update my -41CL!
