It is my understanding that System.Core.dll and System.Xml.Linq.dll are supported (or will be) in SQL server 2008.
I am trying to use Linq to Objects in my SQL 2008 CLR project.
How would I go about “adding” / registering those dlls? (I can’t add them as references)
Thanks in advance,
Orry
SQLCLR projects don’t seem to provide the “Add reference” menu item, but Power Commands for Visual Studio at http://code.msdn.microsoft.com/PowerCommands provides an easy workaround.
1) Install the power commands.
2) Create another, non-SQLCLR project, and add those references to it. If you already have a project with those references in the solution, skip this & just use it.
3) Right click on each desired reference from #2, and select Copy reference. Go to the references node of your SQLCLR project and select Paste reference.
Note well that you cannot just reference any old DLL; there’s a pretty narrow pre-approved list of allowed dlls. See e.g. http://www.sqlskills.com/blogs/bobb/post/New-SQLCLR-approved-assembly-in-SP1.aspx for more on that.
Hope this helps!
