I need help with the OR software. I'm working with Microsoft Visual Studio Community 2022 version 17.4.2. Until now it worked like a charm.

But... Now I want to add a call to WorldLatLon().ConvertWTC in file Source\Orts.Formats.Msts\TrackDatabaseFile.cs. Therefor I need a:

using Orts.Common;

This is giving me an error message: CS0234: The type or namespace name 'Common' does not exist in the namespace 'Orts' (are you missing an assembly reference?)

I tried to add all kind of projects to various Projects Properties. But no luck. It either does not help or it is not allowed because of circular references.

Someone any idea what to do to solve this error?

Hi Siebren,

I'm puzzled by this.

If I look on GitHub for the source to the 'master' branch, I get:




So ORTS.Common is already available to that file.

Are you sure that you've started your work based on the 'master' branch?

using ORTS.Common;

He writes Orts, You write - ORTS. Is it case-sensitive?

Just above the ORTS is an Orts, so it would appear not.

Hi, Derek.
Parsers and formats - yes, but connon -?

[Csantucci]

C# language is case sensitive.

Should have told when opening this thread. There are two namespaces: ORTS.Common and Orts.Common. The names are case sensitive in C#.

The file Source\Contrib\TrackViewer\Drawing\DrawLongitudeLatitude.cs for instance contains a using statement for both of them:

using ORTS.Common;
using Orts.Common;

But when I try to add the last using line to the file Source\Orts.Formats.Msts\TrackDatabaseFile.cs it gives me the error on "using Orts.Common;". The file already has a "using ORTS.Common" like this:



The namespace Orts.Common in defined in C# files in project Orts.Simulation\Common. I guess the error has to do with the project dependencies of Orts.Formats.Msts:



But when I try to add the Orts.Simulation to it I get the error:



I've played around with other projects, but no luck.

In the meantime I created some workaround by just copying the csharp source file and renaming the classes. So not a serious workaround, but good enough for now.

Thanks, Siebren.
