OK, found that forum post here http://forums.iis.net/t/1181958.aspx

The error I got was ‘WebMatrix’ does not exist in the namespace ‘Microsoft’

the solution

double check the project references and add it from Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Web Matrix\Microsoft.WebMatrix.Extensibility.dll

nb: I found ‘references’ on the Solution Navigator tab, right clicked on ‘references’, selected ‘Add reference’, selected assemblies | extensions, clicked on browse, navigated to the file mentioned above.

Hi Bruno,
I must apologise for not picking up your post earlier – feel free to nudge me with an email if I do that again!

I did get around that problem with a little help from the WebMatrix forum. I’ll see if I can dig out the response I had and repost it here.

Hi there;

I see that you were getting “….., after following the instructions to download and create a new extension project I am getting a compile error, so I’ve yet to investigate this feature.”

Did you manage to work it out? I get that error also, and dont know how to get around it.

thanks !

Bruno
