C# Class wont allow SQL directive












0














I have created a class to make my code more maintainable, as having it in a class with methods will reduce the size of my code by a fair bit.



However, When I try and use the SQL directive I receive an error:
"type or namespace name could not be found”



The target framework currently being used if .NET standard 2.0, I have tried to change it via the properties, however, the only versions available are 1.9 - 1.0.



My main project is using .NET framework 4.6.1 - Will having the same frameworks make a difference? Strange that I can not modify the class target framework easily...



I have done the following as well:



Right Click on Project > Manage Nuget Packages > Search & install 'System.Data.SqlClient'



I continue to receive a 'directive is unnecessary error'
(Start of code:



using System.Data.SqlTypes;

namespace Game
{
public class Choice
{
//public SqlConnection Test;
public sqlConnection Test;
}
)


How can I connect use the System.Data.SqlTypes directive?

You are using the wrong namespace here.



Instead of:



using System.Data.SqlTypes;


You should use SqlClient and I recommend also System.Data:



using System.Data.SqlClient;
using System.Data;
