Add a reference to C# program

thedavegray

Hello,

I used to be able to add references in LP5 but after upgrading to LP6 I am struggling to do this.
Been a while since I have used the product so could be I am not adding in the correct way. I did a google
search and followed the instructions to add via F4, however I cannot seem to add a reference for System.Web or .UI.

Add NuGet filtered on System.Web gives me pages of assemblies but not the system.web assembly.

Do I need to download the DLL and browse/add?

Thanks

No need to add the dll, just reference it, eg System.Web.HttpUtility.HtmlEncode("1&2").Dump();

There's no longer an option to add Framework assembly references. In keeping with Visual Studio, all .NET Core Framework assemblies are referenced automatically.

From the Things that behave differently in LINQPad 6 section of https://www.linqpad.net/LINQPad6.asp

Hello
Ok that makes sense. How do I reference System.Web.UI in LP6?

Is it because it is essentially a control that would be included in a web project but not a console app?

Thanks

System.Web.UI is part of Web Forms, which is not supported in .NET Core.

If you still need Web Forms or other features specific to .NET Framework, you can run LINQPad 5 in parallel.

Ok, thanks for the clarification.
