Appendix F. Namespaces and Assemblies

This appendix allows you to look up a namespace and determine which assemblies export that namespace. This information is helpful when constructing the appropriate /reference:<file list>command-line option for the C# compiler. Note that mscorlib.dll is implicitly referenced by the compiler unless the /nostdlib command-line option is used.
