Newbie question…
I have a working console app that uses a shared unit I wrote.
When I added this shared unit to a winforms project, it would not compile until I added a ref to linq in solution explorer.
In the cmd line application, all I need is a using clause in the unit.
What is the diff between a using clause and adding a ref to solution explorer?
“using” is just a compile-time convenience, so you don’t have to type in the fully qualified namespace.
The “reference” is essential to bring in the right libraries.
