C# codeDom errors

Question

I am trying to compile code with codeDom with this function:

   public static bool Compile(string Output, string Source, string Icon, string resources)
   {
      CompilerParameters Parameters = new CompilerParameters();
      CompilerResults cresults = default(CompilerResults);
      Dictionary<string, string> providerOptions = new Dictionary<string, string>();
      providerOptions.Add("CompilerVersion", "v2.0");
      CSharpCodeProvider Compiler = new CSharpCodeProvider(providerOptions);
      Parameters.GenerateExecutable = true;
      Parameters.TreatWarningsAsErrors = false;
      Parameters.OutputAssembly = Output;
      Parameters.EmbeddedResources.Add("System");

      Parameters.CompilerOptions = "/target:winexe /platform:x86";
      if (!string.IsNullOrEmpty(Icon))
      {
         Parameters.CompilerOptions += " /win32icon" + Icon;
      }
      cresults = Compiler.CompileAssemblyFromSource(Parameters, Source);

      if (cresults.Errors.Count > 0)
      {
         foreach (CompilerError compile_error in cresults.Errors)
         {
            CompilerError error = compile_error;
            MessageBox.Show(error + "");
         }
         return false;
      }
      return true;
   }

source has these libarys (not sure if it's libarys I'm rather a java develloper):

using System;
using System.Collections.Generic;
using System.Windows.Forms;
using System.Xml;
using System.Data.SQLite;
using System.Data;
using System.Text;
using System.Collections.Specialized;
using System.Net;
using Dns = System.Net.Dns;
using AddressFamily = System.Net.Sockets.AddressFamily;
using System.Reflection;
using System.Diagnostics;
using System.Runtime.InteropServices;
using Microsoft.Win32;
using System.ComponentModel;
using System.IO;
using System.Security.Cryptography;

But when I compile I get these errors:

c:\Users\Augustin\AppData\Local\Temp\odq0sdk5.0.cs(3,14) : error CS0234: The type or namespace name 'Windows' does not exist in the namespace 'System' (are you missing an assembly reference?)

c:\Users\Augustin\AppData\Local\Temp\odq0sdk5.0.cs(60,14) : error CS0246: The type or namespace name 'DataTable' could not be found (are you missing a using directive or an assembly reference?)

How can I solve these errors?

The problem that you didn't add referenced assemblies. All these errors are related to another assembly that should be added:

Parameters.ReferencedAssemblies.Add("System.dll"); // System, System.Net, etc namespaces
Parameters.ReferencedAssemblies.Add("System.Data.dll"); // System.Data namespace
Parameters.ReferencedAssemblies.Add("System.Data.SQLite.dll"); // System.Data.SqlLite namespace
Parameters.ReferencedAssemblies.Add("System.Xml.dll"); // System.Xml namespace
Parameters.ReferencedAssemblies.Add("System.Windows.Forms.dll"); // System.Windows.Forms namespace

If your code uses these namespaces, then all appropriate assemblies should be added to ReferencedAssemblies collection

PS. I don't know what is correct assembly name for SQLite assembly, as I guess it's System.Data.SQLite.dll, but I can be wrong

error CS0006: Metadata file 'System.Net.dll' could not be found

Sergey Litvinov Over a year ago

yep. I've mistaken. It should be just System.dll. I've updated answer

What dll should I use for System.Resources?

Sergey Litvinov Over a year ago

Based on that article - msdn.microsoft.com/library/… it's in mscorlib.dll, but I suppose it should be linked automatically

error CS0246: The type or namespace name 'Recource' could not be found (are you missing a using directive or an assembly reference?)
