Description Scott Ellington 2008-11-08 17:50:25 UTC 
I have a project that uses the latest npgsql (2.0).  On MD, I add as a reference and it works fine, but on Visual Studio 2005, I get:

...You must add a reference to assembly 'System.Data, Version=2.0.0.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=b77a5c561934e089'.

So on VS.NET, I must explicitly add a reference to System.Data.  It would be nice if it were consistent.

That's something that has to be detected by mcs. MD can't do much about it.

Dupe.

Mmm, thinking it better, it's not exactly a dupe, but it's very related.
