Javascript conversion question

I’m converting the 2d platformer tutorial character controller from javascript to c# and I encountered a problem that I can’t find an answer to.

javascript:

// pointer to the player so we can get values from it quickly
private var controller : PlatformerController;

function Start () {
controller = GetComponent (PlatformerController);
}

c#
// pointer to the player so we can get values from it quickly
private PlatformerController controller;

void Start () {
controller = GetComponent (PlatformerController);
}

and it gives me the error:

The type or namespace name `PlatformerController’ could not be found. Are you missing a using directive or an assembly reference?

any ideas? Thanks.

void Start () { controller = GetComponent(); }

I think you may need quotes around PlatformController, or, make sure you’ve properly initialized what PlatformController is.
