I can't figure this one out. Why doesn't T4 locate the IEnumerable type? I'm using Visual Studio 2010. And I just hope someone knows why?

        using (var conn = new SqlConnection(@"Data Source=.\SQLEXPRESS;Initial Catalog=t4build;Integrated Security=True;"))
        {
            conn.Open();

            var cmd = new SqlCommand(cmdText, conn);

            using (var reader = cmd.ExecuteReader())
            {
                while (reader.Read())
                {
                }
            }
        }
    }

Error 2 Compiling transformation: The type or namespace name 'IEnumerable' could not be found (are you missing a using directive or an assembly reference?) c:\Projects\T4BuildApp\T4BuildApp\TextTemplate1.tt 26 9
