Not sure why I cannot access ProjectElement.ElementName

[pemby]

Hi, I am attempting to use Microsoft.Build.Construction to parse a few .csproj files.
I am looping over a few csproj files to build a report. I am running into the following error

Not sure why I cannot access ProjectElement.ElementName

// ComplieTime ERROR:'ProjectElement' does not contain a definition for 'ElementName'
//and no accessible extension method 'Name' accepting a first argument of type
//'ProjectElement' could be found (are you missing a using directive or an assembly reference?)

Here is a code snippet that reproduces the error.

using (IEnumerator<ProjectItemGroupElement> itemEnums = ProjRootEl.ItemGroups.GetEnumerator())
{
    while (itemEnums.MoveNext())
    {
        ProjectItemGroupElement currItem = itemEnums.Current;
        IEnumerator<ProjectItemElement> currItemEnums = currItem.Items.GetEnumerator();

        using (currItemEnums)
        {
            while (currItemEnums.MoveNext())
            ProjectItemElement innerItems = currItemEnums.Current;

            bool someCondition = true;

            if (someCondition)
            {
                foreach(ProjectElement child in innerItems.Children)
                {
                    // ComplieTime ERROR:'ProjectElement' does not contain a definition for 'ElementName'
                    //and no accessible extension method 'Name' accepting a first argument of type
                    //'ProjectElement' could be found (are you missing a using directive or an assembly reference?)

                    string buffer = child.ElementName;                      
                }
            }
        }
    }
}

Is your code being compiled targeting .NET Core or a .NET Framework? If .NET Core, did you use NuGet to get the appropriate MSBuild packages? If .NET Framework, are you referencing the correct version of the MSBuild assemblies?
