Hi,

I don't have to much context but I'm guessing that you're trying to run a text template if so, you have to add the assembly references in your template.

for example if you're using the System.Xml in your template you should have:

<#@ Assembly name="System.Xml.dll" #>
<#@ Import namespace="System.Xml" #>
