Can't find System.Windows.Media namespace?

You should add reference to PresentationCore.dll.


The System.Windows.Media.Imaging namespace is part of PresentationCore.dll (if you are using Visual Studio 2008 then the WPF application template will automatically add this reference). Note that this namespace is not a direct wrapping of the WIC library, although a large proportion of the more common uses are still available and it is relatively obvious how these map to the WIC versions. For more information on the classes in this namespace check out

Add PresentationCore.dll to your references. This dll url in my pc - C:\Program Files (x86)\Reference Assemblies\Microsoft\Framework\.NETFramework\v4.5\PresentationCore.dll


For Visual Studio 2017

Find "References" in Solution explorer

Right click "References"

Choose "Add Reference..."

Find "Presentation.Core" list and check checkbox

Click OK


You can add PresentationCore.dll more conveniently by editing the project file. Add the following code into your csproj file:

<ItemGroup>
   <FrameworkReference Include="Microsoft.WindowsDesktop.App" />
</ItemGroup>

In your solution explorer, you now should see this framework listed, now. With that, you then can also refer to the classes provided by PresentationCore.dll.
