PDFsharp & MigraDoc Foundation

Hi, I have been trying for a while now to get PDFsharp working in my C# windows form application

I started by downloading the files and using the solution to create the PdfSharp.dll file, i added a reference to this in my project (right click on project name -> add reference).

I then put "using PdfSharp;" at the top of my form and tried to add the line "PdfDocument document = new PdfDocument();".

This didn't work, it came up with the error:
The type or namespace name 'PdfDocument' could not be found (are you missing a using directive or an assembly reference?)

I have also downloaded the assembly files you have given and (i didn't know which to use) tried both GDI+ and WPF versions of the PdfSharp.dll file. As a last ditch attempt i also tried adding the PdfSharp.csproj project to my solution but i'm not sure how i go about linking the project i'm working on with the PdfSharp project so that the error above will stop.

Any help at all would be fantastic - feels like i've been going round and round in circles what with google searches and forum searches and all to no avail.

Cheers, Sam.

Hi!

Unpack the PDFsharp source package, go to "PDFsharp\samples\Samples C#\Based on GDI+", open the appropriate solution - and look at the references of the Hello World sample.

Simple and effective, can't believe i didn't do that in the first place but it worked like a charm.

Thanks for the help in my braindead moment
