Unable to create new project

sqlpadawan

I'm trying to get a .net project up and running using the compare SDKs, but when I create a new project, and add references to the v11 sdk dlls, I get an error:

Error 2 The name 'Project' does not exist in the current context

on this line:

//load up the project
Project projectLoadedFromDisk = Project.LoadFromDisk(projectName);

which is straight out of the sdk examples. I've added references for all of the v11 dlls. My using block looks like this:

using RedGate.SQLCompare.Engine;
using RedGate.SQLDataCompare.Engine;
using RedGate.Shared.SQL.ExecutionBlock;

This has to be so simple, but I can't figure out why, can someone help?

Unfortunately you have found a mistake in our documentation. The assembly you need to use the Project class is RedGate.SQLCompare.Engine.UIProject.dll, adding a reference to this assembly should solve your issue. Please note that the namespace you are using is correct so you won't need to change your source code.

Thanks, that fixed our problem.

Awesome, glad it's sorted.
