I am currently using TeeChart Lite (the free version of teechart). I would like to use it in my WPF project however the downloadable free version is only available for .NET 2.0 therefore I get the following error:
Warning 1 The referenced assembly
“TeeChart.Lite” could not be resolved
because it has a dependency on
“System.Design, Version=4.0.0.0,
Culture=neutral,
PublicKeyToken=b03f5f7f11d50a3a” which
is not in the currently targeted
framework
“.NETFramework,Version=v4.0,Profile=Client”.
Please remove references to assemblies
not in the targeted framework or
consider retargeting your project.
Is it safe to just add the assembly System.Design, Version 4.0.0.0 even though it is not part of the targeted framework? Or is there something else I can do to get it working in .NET 4.0?
I don’t have Visual Studio available to test, but it’s probably one of these two things:
More likely, you just need to reference System.Design.dll, which is a standalone DLL.
Less likely: as the error message states, you are targeting the 4.0 client framework, which is the default for new projects in VS2010. Go to your project properties and reference the full 4.0 framework, which might solve the problem.
The actual solution may require combining both steps.
