My project is set to .NET Framework 4.5. I get the following error when attemping to use SimpleIOC (from MVVM Light) in my WPF project:
Error 3 Reference required to assembly 'System.ComponentModel, Version=4.0.0.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=b03f5f7f11d50a3a' containing the implemented interface 'System.IServiceProvider'. Add one to your project.
I can't figure out why it's giving me this error. From what I understand, this is a mscorlib class so I'm not sure where it is getting System.ComponentModel from.
I can write Dim test As IServiceProvider without the compiler complainging. Is there some kind of version issue?
It seems like a possible Visual Studio bug. I created a new WPF project and was able to find the System.ComponentModel.dll in the list of .Net Framework assemblies. For my current project, I ended up browsing to it to add a reference to it. All is well now.
