Unity 3D is not loading new references from MonoDevelop

I'm trying to create a new variable with:

public Text customText;

To use the type Text, I need to include:

using UnityEngine;
using UnityEngine.UI;

But this reference doesn't exist in my list of references on MonoDevelop. I download it manually and added the reference manually; now I can use the Text type and import the UnityEngine.UI.

Well, here is the issue. When I compile my solution, on MonoDevelop I get this error:

Error: The compiler appears to have crashed. Check the build output pad for details. (Assembly-CSharp).

But on Unity3D I get the error:

Assets/UI/Scripts/HudController.cs(2,19): error CS0234: The type or namespace name `UI' does not exist in the namespace `UnityEngine'. Are you missing an assembly reference?

The dll UnityEngine is by default in the list of references, but not the UnityEngine.UI.

What I'm doing wrong?

  • I've faced this problem. Actually i've seen few solutions, but they helped me for only few launches of Unity. Here is the links:

    I hope any of it will help you. In my case only reinstall was the cure. :)
