Stripe integration in Asp.net mvc project - asp.net-mvc

Question

I am trying to integrate stripe in my asp.net application. I am using Visual Studio 17 and target .Net framework is 4.6.1
The post i followed exactly
Below is my controller code:
using System;
using System.Collections.Generic;
using System.Configuration;
using System.Linq;
using System.Web;
using System.Web.Mvc;
using Stripe;
namespace DonationProgram.Controllers
{
public class DonationController : Controller
{
// GET: Donation
public ActionResult Index()
{
var stripePublishKey = ConfigurationManager.AppSettings["pk_test_Ih2IeiHk6PmK19pdh7UPijhr"];
ViewBag.StripePublishKey = stripePublishKey;
return View();
}
public ActionResult Charge(string stripeEmail, string stripeToken)
{
var customers = new StripeCustomerService();
var charges = new StripeChargeService();
var customer = customers.Create(new StripeCustomerCreateOptions
{
Email = stripeEmail,
SourceToken = stripeToken
});
var charge = charges.Create(new StripeChargeCreateOptions
{
Amount = 500,//charge in cents
Description = "Sample Charge",
Currency = "usd",
CustomerId = customer.Id
});
// further application specific code goes here
return View();
}
}
}
But there are errors in new StripeCustomerService(), new StripeChargeService() & new StripeCustomerCreateOptions saying that "the type or namespace could not be found" though i am using Stripe namespace.

It looks like that blog post is incorrect. What you should really be using is Stripe.CustomerCreateOptions or just CustomerCreateOptions. Likewise for other classes error is reporting.
For example. There is no class StripeCustomerCreateOptions in the stripe-dotnet repo, but there is just CustomerCreateOptions defined here.
Update. A bit more digging through the repo reveals that the blog post was correct at some point, but got out of date. There was a commit in August'18 that removed Stripe prefix from all the customer facing API classes.
