Following a tutorial at the moment, not about Networking, but I popped in the network Using statements as per the tutorial but when I try to build the project, they're not recognized. I downloaded a networking sample from this website and .Net and .GamerServices is recognized perfectly. Does anyone know what's going on?. I'm making a Windows Game project for reference.

Is the networking assembly in your references list? I thought it was added by default in the windows game sample but maybe not.

I tried comparing references in the Solution Explorer but there's nothing in the example that my project does not have. There is no Networking reference, however.

I have:

Microsoft.Xna.Framework
Microsoft.Xna.Framework.Game
mscorlib
System
System.Data
System.Xml

Yeah the Xna.Framework will bring the right ones in. SOrry - I should have checked before I posted

The only other guess is that you have somehow chosen then XNA 1.0 assemblies which don't have the .Network namespaces.

Hmm, I'm checking 'Add References' and I do see a Version 2 of Framework and Framework.Game. I've added that, and now I just need to fix the Game.cs code to change the obsolete stuff.

Only realized now there's an option to make a Windows Game(2.0) when I click on the XNA 2 sub-node.

Thanks for the replies!

**NEVER MIND - just needed some tweaking of my search terms to bring up something relevant. Excluded Game.ico from my content folder.**


"Error 1 Cannot autodetect which importer to use for "Game.ico". There are no importers which handle this file type. Specify the importer that handles this file type in your project."

Google brings up nothing. Does anyone have an ideas??

Yes starting your project with the 1.0 templates will give you 1.0 references.

I agree its confusing that the 1.0 templates appear at the 'top' level and the 2.0 in a sub folder. Several people missed them because of that. The 3.0 templates are going to be in a random place on a web server in Antarctica I hear ;-)
