Class is not found in SQL assembly - sql-server-2005

Question

I am trying to make my first CLR Assembly\stored procedure. I have compiled the code using CSC, and added the assembly to SQL server. The assembly shows up, but the class seems to be missing.
C# CODE
using System;
using System.Collections.Generic;
using System.Linq;
using System.Text;
using System.Text.RegularExpressions;
using Microsoft.SqlServer.Server;
namespace TextFunctions
public class RegularExpressions
{
[Microsoft.SqlServer.Server.SqlFunction]
public static string RegExReplace(string input, string pattern, string replacement)
{
Regex Reginstance = new Regex(pattern);
return Reginstance.Replace(input, replacement);
}
}
END C# CODE
CREATE FUNCTION CODE
CREATE Function RegExReplace(#Input NVARCHAR(512),#Pattern NVARCHAR(127), #Replacement NVARCHAR(512))
RETURNS NVARCHAR(512) EXTERNAL NAME RegEx.RegularExpressions.RegExReplace
ERROR
Could not find Type 'RegularExpressions' in assembly 'RegEx'.
1) Can you see what I am doing rough?
2) Is there a table or view in sql server that lets me see the classes and functions inside an assembly?

Answer 1

According to your code snippet your RegularExpressions class is in the TextFunctions namespace.
Changing your T-SQL code to use TextFunctions.RegularExpressions.RegExReplace should fix it.
