How to remove path of my command line?

How do I get a C# file run from the command line to reference the Microsoft.Office namespace?

• I am fairly new to C#, and primarily picked up the language to be able to write a solution which opens and reads Microsoft Office file types using the Microsoft.Office.Interop namespace.  At this point, I have written the solution, and when I debug a C# script using Microsoft Visual C# 2010 Express, it compiles and runs fine, successfully extracting the text from all Office file types. However, I have run into the persistent problem that when I try to compile the C# file from the command line, I get the error that "the type or namespace 'Office' does not exist in the namespace 'Microsoft'". Most of the advice I've found on fixing this relates to including a reference specifying the path of the Microsoft.Office.Interop.dll file when I run the command to compile, but I can't seem to find it anywhere in the suggested locations to check (such as C:\Window\Micrsoft.NET\assembly). If anyone has an idea of where I can find the dll file, or whether there is something else I need to do, that would be much appreciated.

• Answer:

  In your solution, go to project right click menu, choose add references and add Microsoft.Office DLL.
