Linq does not work with MonoDevelop/Mono last version on Mac OSX 10.6.4

Question

I'm trying to execute a simple test code:

using System;
using System.IO;
using System.Linq;
using System.Collections.Generic;

namespace TestMono
{
    public class TesterManager
    {
        public TesterManager ()
        {
            Console.WriteLine("Test");
            Path.GetTempPath();

            foreach (var i in new int[] { 1, 2, 3, 4, 5}.Where(n => n % 2 == 0))
        {
            Console.WriteLine(i);
        }

            List<string> ar= new List<string>();
            ar.Add("1"); ar.Add("2");


            var lb = ar.Where(n => n=="2");
        }
    }
}

Compiling that code I have two errors:

Esecuzione compilazione principale...

I set the Mono/.NET 3.5 in the project properties and I have the latest version of both Mono and MonoDevelop. I don't understand what is that goes wrong!

Answer 1

You may need to add a reference to "System.Core.dll" in order to access the "System.Linq" namespace.

This one had me scratching my head for a while, I was too used to Resharper bringing in my references.

Answer 2

Did you add a reference to System.Linq.dll (or what ever it is called in Mono)?

(I could swear VS asks the same ;P )
