Question

I want to use Microsofts Enterprise Library in a WCF Service (Visual Studio 2010, ASP.net 4.0, VB.net).

But when I enter Microsoft.Practices.EnterpriseLibrary it only shows Common and “Logging”, no Data…?

Yes, the Data is referenced 🙂 This works fine in my asp.net page.

When I try to use Imports Microsoft.Practices.EnterpriseLibrary.Data it says:

Namespace or type specified in the Imports
‘Microsoft.Practices.EnterpriseLibrary.Data’ doesn’t contain any
public member or cannot be found. Make sure the namespace or the type
is defined and contains at least one public member. Make sure the
imported element name doesn’t use any aliases.

Any ideas? Many thanks!

Answer 1

Fixed. Previously I used WCF Service Library, now I’ve recreated it using WCF Service Application and it compiles fine. Thanks!
