visual studio 2010 system.management.automation assembly reference

Been having trouble with visual studio 2010

I've added reference to the project and double checked the when i type using System.Management.Automation; at the top of the file.

when I go to compile / build it ..

it sa开发者_StackOverflow社区ys that the infamous are you missing an assembly reference.

any ideas?

I have had all sorts of issues with System.Management.Automation over time. I recently hit it again and decided to find an alternative way to run PowerShell from .NET using a batch file. See this blog post for code samples: http://www.nootn.com.au/2013/01/run-powershell-from-net-program-without.html

This also mentions how to get System.Management.Automation working; I.e. install a windows SDK and hack the csproject file so it has:

<Reference Include="System.Management.Automation" />

I hope this helps solve your issue or work around it!
