Hi,

Disclaimer:
I apologize if this is the wrong place for this type of question, but if so,
I don't know where the right place is and I'd be very grateful if someone
could point me in the right direction.

Question:
I'm trying to use nant to compile a project which provides database access.
The project compiles with no problems inside Visual Studio, but I'd like to
start using nant instead. However, the build fails when I try to use nant
with both my own attempt at creating a build file, and the one that
slingshot created for me. The complaint is the same in both cases: that
System.Data.SqlClient.SqlDataReader does not contain a definition for
"HasRows" - which it obviously does. So I'm thinking I'm missing something
vital regarding references, imports or namespaces, but I don't know what...

Any help would be greatly appreciated!

Regards,
Einar

Here is okay, or in one of the more "general" newsgroups - but the NAnt
mailing list would probably be the best place.

HasRows only appeared in V1.1 of the framework, so I suspect you're
currently building against V1.0. I haven't used NAnt, so I don't know
how easy it is to change what you're building against, but hopefully
that will help.
 
You're right - and it's easy to switch. I just needed to add the following
argument: /k:net-1.1 and everything went smoothly. Thanks!
