c# FirestoreDB Winforms - 无法访问 firebase？

Question

I'm trying to get access to my firebase Firestore however I am having issues and I'm not finding a lot of documentation on it. I have some experience using it with Android Studio however C# WinForms seems to be a different kind of beast in terms of getting started.

Where I'm at:

1. I've created a firestore project in firebase and created the collection: "Users" with one document in it.

2. In my visual studio, I have installed Google.Cloud.Firestore.V1

3. in my winforms file, I have this:

 private void registerButton_Click(object sender, EventArgs e)
        {
            string projectId = "my-projectId-from-my-settings-on-Firebase";

            FirestoreDb db = FirestoreDb.Create(projectId);

            CollectionReference collectionReference = db.Collection("Users");

        }

I end up getting this error and I don't know why

System.IO.FileNotFoundException: 'Could not load file or assembly 'Google.Apis.Core, Version=1.44.1.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=4b01fa6e34db77ab' or one of its dependencies. The system cannot find the file specified.'

It breaks at this line: FirestoreDb db = FirestoreDb.Create(projectId);

I am trying to follow this page here: https://googleapis.github.io/google-cloud-dotnet/docs/Google.Cloud.Firestore/

I'm using a mac but I'm running visual studio in parallels for windows.

There is tutorial on Firebase docs. If you looked into it and it seems that you have to set up an environment variable for path to credential file.

I would try to go through this "get started guide" before.

I hope it will help!
