1From the documentation you linked to, it's in cppcodeprovider.dll - did you add a reference to *that* assembly? – Jon Skeet Jan 25 '19 at 07:10

It's in the cppcodeprovider.dll assembly - that's the one you need to add a reference to.
In general, the way to work out what reference you need is to look at the documentation and check the "assembly" part under the namespace. Often you can guess (e.g. if it's in an assembly with the same name as the namespace) but if you ever get stuck, the documentation is the way to go.
I note, however, that this API isn't listed in the more modern .NET documentation. I don't know whether that means it's gone away or been deprecated, but it's at least work being aware of. I can't see a NuGet package providing the functionality either.
