Namespace SPSite , SPWeb could not be found

Question

I am using sharpdevelop to write a program which would add items to a pre-existing list on a SharePoint website .

This is my code :

        using System.IO;
        using Microsoft.SharePoint;
        using System;


        namespace Sampl22.cs
        {
            class Program
            {
                public static void Main(string[] args)
                {
                    using (SPSite site = new SPSite("http://community.intranet/Lists/AllItems.aspx"))
                      {
                        using (SPWeb web = site.OpenWeb())                  
                             {
                                SPList list = web.Lists["Sample Forms Data"];
                                SPListItem item = list.Items.Add();
                                item["FormName"] = "New Form";
                                item["Data"] = "Description of Task";
                                 item.Update();
                             }
                      }
                }
            }
        }

and the errors that i am getting are :

The type or namespace name 'SPSite' could not be found (are you missing a using directive or an assembly reference?) (CS0246)
The type or namespace name 'SPList' could not be found (are you missing a using directive or an assembly reference?) (CS0246)
The type or namespace name 'SPListItem' could not be found (are you missing a using directive or an assembly reference?) (CS0246)
The type or namespace name 'SPWeb' could not be found (are you missing a using directive or an assembly reference?) (CS0246)

Under the references section I have:

FPSRVUTL
FPWEC
Microsoft.SharePoint.BusinessData.Administration.Client
Microsoft.SharePoint.BusinessData.Administration.Client.Intl
System
System.Core
System.Data
System.Data.DataSetExtensions
System.Xml
System.Xml.Linq

What should be done in order to remove these errors ?

SPSite lives in Microsoft.SharePoint (Microsoft.SharePoint.dll). All of the failures beyond that are part of the cascade of a missing reference. You should also check which .NET Framework you're running. Most development is done under 4.0 at the moment (not client profile)
