 All code in assemblies, included in your own executable, is organized in namespaces.
 To be found, you need to either define the complete path included the namespace, like in
-[code]System.IO.File.WriteAllText( "c:\temp\HelloWorld.txt", "Hello World" )[/code]
+<code>System.IO.File.WriteAllText( "c:\temp\HelloWorld.txt", "Hello World" )</code>
 or to include the needed namespace at the top of your source code, and then use the class directly:
-[code]using System.IO
+<code>using System.IO
 .....
-File.WriteAllText( "c:\temp\HelloWorld.txt", "Hello World" )[/code]
+File.WriteAllText( "c:\temp\HelloWorld.txt", "Hello World" )</code>
 If you use your own assemblies, you should look at the sources, but if it is either a .NET Framework assembly or a 3rd party assembly, please look at the documentation.
 For the File class, the MSDN says:
-[code]Namespace:   System.IO
+<code>Namespace:   System.IO
-Assembly:  mscorlib (in mscorlib.dll)[/code]
+Assembly:  mscorlib (in mscorlib.dll)</code>
+So to use the File class, you have to check two things:
+  * have the mscorlib.dll in your references
+  * either have a using System.IO at the begin of your source or use the full referenced class name
