FileInfo behaving strange

geodirk

I'm running LINQPad version 7.0.17.

I'm getting this issue with FileInfo acting really strange:

where it finds System.IO.FileInfo on line 17, but can't initialize it. Likewise, line 17 shows that it doesn't find it either. I've tried on line 17 putting the explicit reference of System.IO.FileInfo and it does the same thing.

On the Query Properties, I have the correct namespace entered:

System
System.Collections
System.Collections.Generic
System.Data
System.Diagnostics
System.IO
System.Linq
System.Linq.Expressions
System.Reflection
System.Text
System.Text.RegularExpressions
System.Threading
System.Transactions
System.Xml
System.Xml.Linq
System.Xml.XPath

Microsoft.Data.Sqlite
System.Xml.Serialization

File showing the problem is attached

remove the filename ending

Line 17

FileInfo fi2 = new();

There is no parameterless constructor for FileInfo so you need to add one, e.g. something like

FileInfo fi2 = new(file);

Line 18

var fi = FileInfo(file);

This is assuming you are calling a Method called FileInfo which does not exist.

This should be var fi = new FileInfo(file);
