Unreferenced assemblies in Toolkit.Graphics.GraphicsDevice

[Gavin-Williams]

Hi,

Just started using Toolkit a little bit, and have come across this error .. On the line :
GraphicsDevice d = GraphicsDevice.New(((SDKSharpDX.Window)Window).Device3D);

The following errors are given :
SharpDX.DXGI.Adaptor1 is defined in an assembly that is not referenced.
SharpDX.DXGI.Factory1 is defined in an assembly that is not referenced.

This is the ToolKit GraphicsDevice. And ive checked its meta-data and sure enough, DXGI is not referenced.

I think this is a valid issue, the dll's should reference their own internal dependencies, shouldn't they ?

Well, you have to reference assemblies yourself, because the Toolkit is using some implicit cast that are requiring these assemblies to be added to your project. There is nothing we can do about this, as this is the behavior of .NET. If you use an assembly that as using for example System.Drawing assembly in their public interface, you need to add this assembly explicitly to your project. When the toolkit is usually used, the SharpDX.targets msbuild is added at the end of a csproj file, and this file is adding explicitly these assemblies.

Ok. Thanks for clearing that up for me.
