[squa7ed]

The "using System.Reflection;" statement is not correct in sample code of step 2 under "Add the code" section. It should be "using System;".

Thanks for contacting us. That part of the code is actually correct -- System.Reflection is needed for code added in the following step, which refers to Assembly and AssemblyInformationalVersionAttribute. I'm adding a note to that effect, as I expect others would have the same question. The using System; statement is not needed because it's one of the implicit usings. Also, while looking into this I noticed that the namespace was wrong due to a copy/paste error, and I'm fixing that.
