I'm trying to create a Silverlight application (for the first time) that involves parsing XML from a site and displaying information. To do this I am using Visual Studio 2008 on Windows XP Service Pack 3. I also have .NET Framework 3.5 SP1 installed.
My problem is that no XML-parser I have seen on the internet works. The top of my code I have both lines I believe are necessary (using "System.xml;" and using "System.linq;") but XDocument, XMLReader, XMLDocument, and any others I have found do not work, returning the error that the type or namespace cannot be found. I do have .NET Framework.
I have turned absolutely nothing up on the internet regarding this problem. Does anyone have any ideas?
EDIT: I just discovered that when I open the file outside of the context of a Silverlight project, it is able to use XDocument. It is only when I open the entire project that my problem occurs
Here is some sample code showing the problem:
using System;
using System.Collections.Generic;
using System.Linq;
using System.Net;
using System.Windows;
using System.Windows.Controls;
using System.Windows.Documents;
using System.Windows.Input;
using System.Windows.Media;
using System.Windows.Media.Animation;
using System.Windows.Shapes;
using System.Xml.Linq; //Error 1 (See below)
namespace LastfmAmazon
{
public partial class Page : UserControl
{
public Page()
{
InitializeComponent();
}
public void DownloadStringCompleted(object sender, DownloadStringCompletedEventArgs e)
{
XDocument doc = XDocument.Parse(e.Result); //Error 2: see below
}
public void Button_Click(object sender, RoutedEventArgs e)
{
if (uname.Text != String.Empty)
{
App app = (App)Application.Current;
app.UserName = uname.Text;
String getTopArtists = "http://ws.audioscrobbler.com/2.0/?method=user.gettopartists&user=" + app.UserName + "&api_key=d2d620af554a60f228faed8d502c4936";
uname.Text = "Try Another One!";
WebClient web = new WebClient();
WebClient client = new WebClient();
client.DownloadStringCompleted += new DownloadStringCompletedEventHandler(DownloadStringCompleted);
client.DownloadStringAsync(new Uri(getTopArtists));
}
}
}
}
Error 1: This line contains the following error: The type or namespace name 'Linq' does not exist in the namespace 'System.Xml' (are you missing an assembly reference?)
Error 2: This line contains the following error: The type or namespace name 'XDocument' does not exist in the namespace 'System.Xml' (are you missing an assembly reference?)
EDIT 2: Once I Googled what it meant to "add a reference" to a library, Anthony's answer solved the problem.
