Hello, I just downloaded Spire.Doc (Standard, version 3.7.8.4) and I am doing the Hello World demo. All looks fine until I build the project in Visual Studio, getting this error:

The type or namespace name 'Spire' could not be found (are you missing a using directive or an assembly reference?) C:\inetpub\wwwroot\HelloWorld\Form1.cs 3 7 HelloWorld

The odd thing is, is that I can run the demos that came along with the download just fine, and both projects (mine and the demos) are referencing the exact same Spire.Doc.dll, so I don't understand why it works fine in one project but not another. What am I missing? Thanks in advance for any help.

Hello sklaiber,

Thanks for your inquiry.

From your description, the issue looks like that you referenced a Spire dll which is not fit for your framework version. If your app's target framework is .net framework 4.0, you need to reference a dll from $INSTALLATION$\Spire.Doc\Bin\NET4.0\Spire.Doc.dll. Please have a kind try.

If you still have this problem,please feel free to contact us.
Have a great day.
