Can't compile from Visual Studio

[erbatista]

Hi all,
I cloned MudBlazor repo (dev branch) and tried to compile/build from source code, but I get some errors like the following:

1. 'Variant' does not contain a definition for 'ToDescriptionString' and no accessible extension method 'ToDescriptionString' accepting a first argument of type 'Variant' could be found (are you missing a using directive or an assembly reference?) MudBlazor (net7.0)

2. 'Severity' does not contain a definition for 'ToDescriptionString' and no accessible extension method 'ToDescriptionString' accepting a first argument of type 'Severity' could be found (are you missing a using directive or an assembly reference?) MudBlazor (net7.0)

3. 'HorizontalAlignment' does not contain a definition for 'ToDescriptionString' and no accessible extension method 'ToDescriptionString' accepting a first argument of type 'HorizontalAlignment' could be found (are you missing a using directive or an assembly reference?) MudBlazor (net7.0)

When I import the extension method by importing ns MudBlazor.Extensions the error goes away but the source code is marked as obsolete with this comment: "Please use the auto-generated ToDescriptionString method instead or implement your own extension method."
Question is how is to generate such method?
Thank you

Elio B.

What is your exact visual studio 2022 version?
Have you tried to compile it from cmd using dotnet build command?

Thanks, I'll try to compile using dotnet build command and let you know..
My VS 2022 version is 17.4.2.

Since our version of Microsoft.CodeAnalysis.CSharp is 4.5 you need minimum Visual Studio version 17.5, it's better if you have the latest tho. Otherwise the source generator will not work and you will see problems that you have described.

After upgrade to Version 17.6.5 it builds successfully. My mistake for overlook the Visual Studio version .
Thanks very much for your time.

I'm using VS 17.9.5, with .NET 8.0.3, and I get the same error. What can I do?
UPDATE:
I've found the following, useful post:
https://stackoverflow.com/questions/75993353/how-to-use-auto-generated-todescriptionstring-method
And: 91d5edf
Maybe this is an issue that is under work at the MudBlazor team, I don't know.
Finally, I decided not trying to compile mudblazor by myself and to use the NuGet package (which was, due to circumstances, not possible for me earlier). So, my problem is "solved".
But maybe someone can answer anyway, for other persons, who have the same problem.
