WebMatrix <Data> to Visual Studio

Question

How do I add WebMatrix 'Data' to Visual Studio?

Visual Studio error message

The type or namespace name 'Data' could not be found (are you missing a using directive or an assembly reference?)

My WebMatrix ajax code

Response.ContentType = "application/json";    

var record_count =  db.QueryValue (count_command);  

	var data = new List<Data> {  
    	new Data {num_of_records=record_count}  
};  

Json.Write(data, Response.Output);

Hi @CsharpRobert ,

How do I add WebMatrix 'Data' to Visual Studio?

Just refer to this step: Menu Bar -> Tools > NuGet Package Manager > Package Manager Console, and run following command in console:

   Install-Package Microsoft.AspNet.WebPages.Data  

Once you've done that, you'll see the assembly imported into your project, something like this:

Finally, use namespace using WebMatrix.Data; to fix your problem.
