Compiler Error CS1541
Invalid reference option: 'symbol' — cannot reference directories
The compiler detected an attempt to specify a directory rather than a specific file. For example, when you use the References compiler option, you must specify a file; it is not possible to specify a directory.
For example, passing /reference:c:\
to the compiler would generate CS1541.
