Cannot use System.Collections?!

[dilbert67]

Hi,

I created a new strategy with the wizard and added

using System.Collections;
...
HashTable foo=new HashTable();

Intellisense knows HashTable but I get CS0246. According to Google System.Collections is part of System.dll which is listed in my references (rightclick, refs). Whats wrong?

hi,

the localized msg is

"Strategy\MyCustomStrategy2.cs Der Typ- oder Namespacename HashTable konnte nicht gefunden werden. (Fehlt eine using-Direktive oder ein Assemblyverweis?) CS0246 - click for info 30 3"

eg "type or namespacename hashtable cannot be found (Missing using directive or assembly ref?)
