How do I fix the following error ?

"The type or namespace name 'Soap' does not exist in the namespace
'System.Runtime.Serialization.Formatters' (are you missing an assembly
reference?)"


Here is my source code:

public static bool Serialize(System.Object myObject, string
writeToXmlPath)
{
bool state = true;
System.Runtime.Serialization.IFormatter formatter = null;
System.IO.Stream stream = null;


try
{

/*********************************The next line is the
error*******************/

formatter = new
System.Runtime.Serialization.Formatters.Soap.SoapFormatter();
stream = new System.IO.FileStream(writeToXmlPath,
FileMode.Create, FileAccess.Write, FileShare.None);
formatter.Serialize(stream, myObject);
}
catch (System.Exception ex)
{
state = false;
System.Diagnostics.Debug.WriteLine(ex.ToString());
}
finally
{
stream.Close();
formatter = null;
stream = null;
}
return state;
}


Thanks,

Trey

Are you missing an assembly reference? That's the first place to
look. Make sure you check all directories when you "Add" an assembly
from inside Visual Studio. I got tripped up on that several times. I
was only checking out the "old" directory, but in fact my toolkit DLLs
resided in a newer directory, unknown to me. It was that easy, once I
realized the problem.

Add a reference to System.Runtime.Serialization.Formatters.Soap.dll.
