System.Linq

[hon123456]

Why does the compiler say that 'Linq' does not exist in the 'System'
namespace when specifying a using statement as follows:

using System.Linq;

VS 2005 is for .NET 2.0 - System.Core is new in .NET 3.5 - you
should be able to find it in VS 2008.

I am using Visual Studio 2005. Any method to Add System.Core. I know
System Core is in .Net Framework 3.5. How can I add System.Core to
Visual
Studio 2005. Thanks.

You can't. You need to use VS2008.

(There may be some hacky way, but it's unlikely to be a good
experience.)

And if one has to ask about this, then it is not even
worth trying ...

Reply: System.Linq

I can suggest you an idea how to add the reference to System.Linq in a C# project. I'm not sure if it works in C# 2005, but it solves the problem in C# 2008.

1) Launch the C# 2008 environment and create or open the necessary project.

2) In the Solution Explorer section, find the node with the name of your project and right-click this node. A context menu will appear, and you have to choose the "Add Reference" option in this menu.

3) You'll see a window called "Add Reference". It has some pages (".NET", "COM", etc.). The first page (".NET") must be opened.

4) In the list below, find the component "System.Cor e", select it and click "OK".

5) Now you may type "using System.Linq" link in the Code Editor.
