The type or namespace name 'EmailAddressAttribute' could not be found #24

I've used NuGet to install the package into my VS 2010 project which already has Umbraco 6.1.6 installed.

With the CWS package installed I cannot compile the project due to the following error:

Error 1 The type or namespace name 'EmailAddressAttribute' could not be found (are you missing a using directive or an assembly reference?) D:\Websites\UmbracoCWSStarterKit\UmbracoCWSStarterKit\Models\AuthModel.cs 18 10 UmbracoCWSStarterKit

My project targets .Net 4.0 and so does Umbraco 6.1 I believe.

Any idea on what is missing?

Hello @MrMattTaylor seems like as your compiling against .NET 4 as opposed to .NET 4.5 where this attribute seemed to have got added to the .NET FrameWork

If toy can update to .NET 4.5 then I believe this will be resolved. Closing this for the time being, please re-open if this is not the case.

Thanks :)

Hi Warren,

Yes you're right and that does solve the issue. Maybe it was just my setup or perhaps the project here needs updating to target 4.5.

Cheers, Matt
