QuickBooks: Unresolved SDK Link?

Question

When I create the MCInvoiceAddQBFC C # application from the QuickBooks SDK sample code, the assembly fails

C:\Windows\Microsoft.NET\Framework\v2.0.50727\Microsoft.Common.targets : warning MSB3245: Could not resolve this reference. Could not locate the assembly "Interop.QBFC8, Version=8.0.0.28, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=31d8aec643e18259". Check to make sure the assembly exists on disk. If this reference is required by your code, you may get compilation errors.

Looking at Solution Explorer, I see there a warning sign about Interop.QBFC8, which is consistent with the first warning line in the assembly output. I installed the SDK and I also tried to remove and add the link again. Any idea?

Answer 1

You are apparently referencing the DLL incorrectly. I am not familiar with the QuickBooks SDK, but if you notice your csc.exe line, no link to any QuickBooks library is provided.

Have you added the right link in every project in your solution?
