Add Reference To Microsoft.CSharp For Dynamic TypeNo Thanks

Hi,

Wondering if we could have the API reference Microsoft.CSharp? My reason for this is so that I may use the dynamic type. Without it, this appears in console:
Error while compiling: GUIAnnouncements.cs(1703,13): error CS1969: Dynamic operation cannot be compiled without `Microsoft.CSharp.dll' ​



Would be handy in my particular scenario where I have two possible types being passed to a method parameter, and I need to be able to compile the type during runtime to tell the difference between the two while accessing the methods and properties within the types.

 

Thanks for considering :D

I doubt that is compatible cross-platform, so unlikely. We generally try to avoid adding more DLLs.

Hey Wulf!

I'm not sure I understand, .NET is cross-platform isn't it? Does that not mean that this .dll is too?

No, .NET Core is cross-platform; most games such as Rust use Mono which is a recreation of .NET, but usually behind. Copying random .NET DLLs to another OS may not always work, it depends on it if is compatible with the .NET/Mono version on that OS. In this case, It'd need to be .NET 4.6 for Rust, but 3.5 is what we target for universal compatibility. Like I said though, we try to avoid adding new DLLs. In your case, "dynamic" requires .NET 4.0 or higher, which would not work outside of Rust.

Thanks, that makes sense now.

I'll have to either find a way to do it or change up my semi rewrite plans.
