Error CS0234 The type or namespace name 'Media' does not exist in the namespace 'Windows' (are you missing an assembly reference?) Dopamine D:\Player-projects\C#-Players\Dopamine-projects\Dopamine\Dopamine\Services\Notification\LegacyNotificationService.cs 11 Active
Desired behavior
Log file
Please check the compile instructions here: https://github.com/digimezzo/Dopamine
I've done what the instruction tells, but I still have the errors:
'Media' does not exist in the namespace 'Windows',
when compiling LegacyNotificationService.cs
I'm using Windows 10 (1803) and VS 2017.
Do you have this file on you computer?
C:\Program Files (x86)\Windows Kits\10\UnionMetadata\Windows.winmd
If not, please check that you copied it to that location manually (see the compile instructions).
Sorry for keep bothering you.
I'm sure that I've done what your instructions tell.
But, the error still exists.
Let me ask your environments:
- Your Windows version
- Your VS version
No problem. sorry for insisting :) My Windows and VS version are exactly the same as yours.
Let's check the "Windows" dependency in the main Dopamine project:
It is probably broken, like in the picture (I'm getting this error also when the Windows.winmd file is not in the expected location).
Try to add a new reference to the main project
and browse to the Windows.winmd file. That should fix the reference
If that works, I'll add it to the compile instructions.
It works!!
Thanks a lot.
The Windows.winmd file shoule be located at 'C:\Program Files (x86)\Windows Kits\10\UnionMetadata', it's the reason, thanks!
In my computer, Windows.winmd file is in "C:\Program Files (x86)\Windows Kits\8.1\References\CommonConfiguration\Neutral\Annotated" directory. I should copy it to “C：\Program Files （x86）\Windows Kits\10\UnionMetadata”. I hope this could help others.
