Unable to execute cypher statement

I am using VS 2013 and the Neo4j client in an MVC application and can't get past building the query.

In the following code, I can connect to my server but on the var newUser line I get an error over the new User statement saying it's a property but used like a type, that can bee seen in this screen shot:

screeny

var client = new GraphClient(new System.Uri("http://localhost:7474/db/data"));
client.Connect();

var newUser = new User { Id = 456, Name = "Jim" };
client.Cypher
    .Merge("(user:User { Id: {id} })")
    .OnCreate("user")
    .Set("user = {newUser}")
    .WithParams(new
    {
        id = newUser.Id,
        newUser
    })
    .ExecuteWithoutResults();

I think I need to add or remove a reference but I a not sure what it is.

Solution

  • If you read the error, you'll see User is a property of Controller, so it's not recognized as a type.

    You'll need to prefix the namespace, like new Neo4j.User() or whatever its documentation states it uses.
