MetadataFileReference is inaccessible

Question

I recently updated my project to Roslyn 1.0, and can't find MetadataFileReference class anywhere.

references: new[] { new MetadataFileReference(typeof(object).Assembly.Location) }

Error   CS0122  'MetadataFileReference' is inaccessible due to its protection level

What can I use instead?

Answer 1

MetadataReference.CreateFromAssembly is obsolete

You should use CreateFromFile instead

       references: new[] { MetadataReference.CreateFromFile(typeof(object).Assembly.Location) }

Answer 2

Sorry, found the answer in the source code:

references: new[] { MetadataReference.CreateFromAssembly(typeof(object).Assembly) }
