Soap Formatter namespace not found

Matthew Connor

Hi all:

I am new to VB.NET and I am trying to serialize a custom structure
via a SOAP formatter. My Microsoft published Visual Basic .NET book
says to use the following Imports statement:

Imports System.Runtime. Serialization.F ormatters.Soap

The problem is that VB is not recognizing that as a valid namespace
and is generating the following error:

error BC30466: Namespace or type 'Soap' for the Imports
'System.Runtime .Serialization. Formatters.Soap ' cannot be found.

Can anyone shed some light on this? I have the .NET Framework 2.0
installed but as you can see from my system information below, the IDE
reports version 1.0. I don't know if that is significant or not. Thank
you!

You need to include a reference to the DLL
System.Runtime. Serialization.F ormatters.Soap. dll - this namespace isn't
in one of the default-included DLLs. Don't ask me why :) The place to
look in the docs for this is in 'about X class' topic, at the bottom in
the Requirements section, where it says 'Assembly:'
I have the .NET Framework 2.0

The various versions of Visual Studio.NET are tightly coupled to the
various versions of the Framework:

2002 <-> 1.0
2003 <-> 1.1
2005 <-> 2.0

So the apps you are making are actually targetting the 1.0 Framework.
Note that while you may have Framework 2.0 installed, you *also* have
1.0 installed. It's not like, say, a DLL in the old days, where the
later version replaces the former. The various Frameworks are separate
entities and coexist with each other.

This worked perfectly! Thank you very much for your quick, helpful
response! Also, the information about 2002 targeting the 1.0 framework
is good to know! Take care.

Is there a document, or can some one list those types that are not serializable and the syntax for converting them? Thanks
