I am using Visual Studio 2012 Premium building a project on Fez Cerberus targeting MF 4.2. The System.Net.Sockets assembly is not in my project or on my installed DLLs. I need it for a Web Server project I am doing. How can I get this reference into the project? BTW - the project I am trying to do is here - https://www.ghielectronics.com/docs/30/networking
You need to load Ethernet version of the firmware for Cerberus and use Enc28 module. As described here
https://www.ghielectronics.com/docs/68/ethernet-enc28-module
Thanks both. Re-installed the Ethernet Firmware using FEZ Config and also added Microsoft.SPOT.Net but still getting the error -
Error 1 The type name ‘Socket’ could not be found. This type has been forwarded to assembly ‘System, Version=4.0.0.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=b77a5c561934e089’. Consider adding a reference to that assembly. C:\Users\gaepstei\documents\visual studio 2012\Projects\GadgeteerApp-webServerENC28\GadgeteerApp-webServerENC28\Program.cs 26 16 GadgeteerApp-webServerENC28
There is no reference to System.Net.Sockets and I can’t find the DLL on my machine. Any idea?
Did you add reference to “System.dll” assembly? Socket class is inside that assembly.
Ahh - that did it! Thank you! Now I am getting an error -
Error 1 0x81010009 C:\Users\gaepstei\documents\visual studio 2012\Projects\GadgeteerApp-webServerENC28\GadgeteerApp-webServerENC28\MMP GadgeteerApp-webServerENC28
Any idea what is MMP and why am I getting error - 0x81010009
At what stage are you getting this error?
Can you show your code please?
Also take a look at the following post:
I am getting it when VS is Building the solution. The code I am using is the web server code here - https://www.ghielectronics.com/docs/30/networking . Not sure how to change it to avoid “generics”, any idea? (not really deep on C#)
“generics” was just an example that caused the issue for the poster at that link. You don’t use generics in your example, so it must be something else.
Actually, I have just tried the example and it build fine for me. IT even tried to run it in the emulator (of course it failed to load), but no MMP error. Are you sure you have copied the code correctly. Can you post it here anyways? Please use code tags.
Thank you - please see below the code -

One thing right away is that you are not supposed to block “ProgramStarted” method - it is a No-No!
Start a thread and do while(true) inside that thread instead.
Can you please show a screenshot of your references?
Thank you. Attached the References screenshot. Sorry for my ignorance on the other comment relating to “program start” blocking. Do you want elaborating with example?
Remove System.Net reference. This one is from big brother - full .NET.
Double check all references or even better start project from scratch.
That worked! Thank you!
You are welcome!
