trying to parse FileNotFoundException causes compile error

Hello,

So I am trying to catch a FileNotFoundException and read the file from the exception like this:

 catch (FileNotFoundException e)
 {
     string file = e.FileName;
 }

Visual Studio throws no errors, but in unity at compile time it throws:

 Type `System.IO.FileNotFoundException' does not contain a definition for `FileName' and no extension method `FileName' of type `System.IO.FileNotFoundException' could be found (are you missing a using directive or an assembly reference?)

any idea why it would do this?

Interesting. Have you done anything to your visual studio project? Only thing I can guess is that unity and visual studio aren't using the same .net framework.

I don't think I have done anything to the VS project, I re-synced it just to make sure. VS is referenced to System.Core V3.5 and System V2. I am using a custom compiled version of the 4.6 UI, could that have something to do with it?

Oh in that case then it makes sense your compiled version has a different idea of what .net is than your environment.

Did you compile it yourself? If not then that's a good place to start.

yea, so I forked and cloned the ui repos. and just did some $$anonymous$$or changes, it is using the same version core and system.

Something must be wrong with your solution. I'd bring this issue to whoever's repo you forked or the forums.
