I'm interested in Cassandra and I'd like to test it at home in my Windows XP computer. I've found [instructions for install an run Cassandra in Windows](http://www.coderjournal.com/2010/03/cassandra-jump-start-for-the-windows-developer/), and it's already up and running; I've also found the [thrift executable for Windows](http://www.fkollmann.de/v2/post/Thrift-Windows-Binaries-for-Cassandra.aspx) and generate the C# interfaces, but... when I try to compile that generated code in Visual Studio I got : "**The type or namespace name 'Thrift' could not be found** (are you missing a using directive or an assembly reference?)", so I'm missing something else, but I cannot find what... What is it? Is it a dll? I've looked in the thrift code and I cannot find anything related to .net , so what am I missing?

Thanks in advance.

Regards.
