Mono and Array.Sort

How can I use Array.Sort(someArray) in Mono with the Monodevelop !? I’m using Mono 4.2.2 and Monodevelop 5.10.

Did I has to import some namespace? Which one?

Is there another method to use?

I’ve been trying that and don’t works:

var Color = new String[5];

Color[0] = "Orange";
Color[1] = "Blue";
Color[2] = "Purple";
Color[3] = "Green";
Color[4] = "Red";

Array.Sort(Color); //Error: The type or namespace name 'Sort' does not exist in namespace 'Array'. Are you missing an assembly reference?

Console.WriteLine ("Colors:");

foreach(string s in Color)
{
    Console.WriteLine (s);
}

Answer

Array is in the System namespace and is included within mscorlib (Mono/.Net 2/4/4.5+).

Using:

using System;

Cut/Paste example:

using System;

namespace ArraySort
{
    class MainClass
    {
        public static void Main(string[] args)
        {
            var Color = new String[5];

            Color[0] = "Orange";
            Color[1] = "Blue";
            Color[2] = "Purple";
            Color[3] = "Green";
            Color[4] = "Red";

            Array.Sort(Color); //Error: The type or namespace name 'Sort' does not exist in namespace 'Array'. Are you missing an assembly reference?

            Console.WriteLine ("Colors:");

            foreach(string s in Color)
            {
                Console.WriteLine (s);
            }
        }
    }
}

Output:

Colors:
Blue
Green
Orange
Purple
Red
