How to add reference to Microsoft.VisualBasic.dll?

问题:

using Microsoft.VisualBasic;

Microsoft.VisualBasic.Interaction.InputBox("Favourite RPG?", "Game", "Cool!");

So what this does is basically ask the user their favourite RPG. Then it displays the default value. I know this is a small example but my program will not run because I'm getting this error:

The type or namespace name 'Interaction' does not exist in the namespace 'Microsoft.VisualBasic' (are you missing an assembly reference?)

You need to add a reference to the Microsoft.VisualBasic.dll

The using statement you have is not a reference. It's merely a shortcut so you don't have to type the full namespace every time you want to access a member inside it.

Right click your References in the Solution Explorer click Add Reference,then search for Microsoft.VisualBasic and add it to your references.
