Hi,

I am using the line  "Assert.IsNotNull(object);" in my code. I keep getting the error "the name assert does not exist in the current content". 

Can someone please tell me what I'm missing?

Thanks.

Add a reference to your project: Microsoft.VisualStudio.QualityTools.UnitTestFramework

And then add the following using to your code file:

using Microsoft.VisualStudio.TestTools.UnitTesting;

If you are doing unit testing, then TSoftware recommended a good solution.  If this code is in "production code", then more likely you would want to use System.Debug.Assert(object != null); or System.Trace.Assert(object != null);.

This error usually occurs when the object is not part of the class in which the state, or since c # case sensitive and language, which is case-sensitive check if you typed the name correctly.
