Hello World Example For Official Neo4J Driver Is Having A Reference Problem When Calling Session

Ok,

I'm in C# using .NET Framework 4.7.2. I'm trying to use the Hello World example https://neo4j.com/developer/dotnet/. I've installed the driver w/ "PM Install-Package Neo4j.Driver-4.0" and have a reference in the project for version 4.0.78.1.

For the line 

using (var session = _driver.Session())

I'm getting

'IDriver' does not contain a definition for 'Session' and no accessible extension method 'Session' accepting a first argument of type 'IDriver' could be found (are you missing a using directive or an assembly reference?)

using Neo4j.Driver;
using System;
using System.Linq;
namespace ConsoleApp5 {
    public class HelloWorldExample : IDisposable
    {
        private readonly IDriver _driver;

        public HelloWorldExample(string uri, string user, string password)
        {
            _driver = GraphDatabase.Driver(uri, AuthTokens.Basic(user, password));
        }

        public void PrintGreeting(string message)
        {
            using (var session = _driver.Session())
            {
                var greeting = session.WriteTransaction(tx =>
                {
                    var result = tx.Run("CREATE (a:Greeting) " +
                                        "SET a.message = $message " +
                                        "RETURN a.message + ', from node ' + id(a)",
                        new { message });
                    return result.Single()[0].As<string>();
                });
                Console.WriteLine(greeting);
            }
        }

        public void Dispose()
        {
            _driver?.Dispose();
        }

        public static void Main()
        {
            using (var greeter = new HelloWorldExample("bolt://localhost:7687", "neo4j", "password"))
            {
                greeter.PrintGreeting("hello, world");
            }
        }
    }    
    }

Clearly I'm missing something simple - but after two hours of searching I'm out of ideas.

For Driver version 4, you need to add Neo4j.Driver.Simple Nuget package to the project as well. Either via graphic interface, or via command line as PM> Install-Package Neo4j.Driver.Simple

According to Neo4j Driver 4.0 docs, Session() is an extension on IDriver interface. And as per Session() doc, it's from:

Assembly: Neo4j.Driver.Simple (in Neo4j.Driver.Simple.dll) Version: 4.0.2
