Ok Solomon, I tried to figure this out and failed. Forgive my CLR noobness (I create about 1 CLR/year) and I'm sure this is simple but I'm having a hard time compiling your code. I've been playing around with this on/off for the past week.

I've been trying with the csc.exe in .NET 3.5 and 2.0 I've added (then removed when it did not help) this to the top using <namespace> statements...

using System;

using System.Data;

using Microsoft.SqlServer.Server;

I saved your code as NGramsNV4000.cs and have been attempting to compile the code using this command:

C:\Windows\Microsoft.NET\Framework\v2.0.50727>csc.exe /target:library NGramsNV4000.cs

This is what I get in v2.0.50727:
