Is it possible to use 'HttpRuntime' in a NUnit project?

Question

I'm following a guide to write output data from Visual Studio into a google spreadsheet. I'm using a NUnit project type for test-automation purposes.

At the end of the guide there is a code block that I pasted inside my project:

using OpenQA.Selenium.Support.UI;
using System;
using NUnit.Framework;
using OpenQA.Selenium;
using System.Collections;
using System.Collections.Generic;
using Google.Apis.Sheets.v4;
using Google.Apis.Auth.OAuth2;
using System.IO;
using Google.Apis.Services;
using Newtonsoft.Json;
using WikipediaTests.Foundation_Class;

namespace AutomationProjects
{
    [TestFixture]
    public class TestClass : TestFoundation
    {
        public class SpreadSheetConnector
        {
        //Codeblock from guide pasted here!
        }
        [Test]
        public void test1()
        {
         //Test case 1. Do XYZ...
        }
    }
}

In the code block included in the guide there is a section that reads the JSON credential file:

private void ConnectToGoogle()
{
    GoogleCredential credential;                
    using (var stream = new FileStream(Path.Combine(HttpRuntime.BinDirectory, "Export Project-03e8aa07234e.json"),
        FileMode.Open, FileAccess.Read))
    {
        credential = GoogleCredential.FromStream(stream).CreateScoped(_scopes);
    }

    //...

But I get an error for the 'HttpRuntime' saying: Error CS0103 The name 'HttpRuntime' does not exist in the current context

There is no suggestion from VS to add a new 'using' reference so I'm assuming that is not the problem.

So what could be the problem? To whole codeblock from the: guide

Short answer - yes.

Long answer - I believe you need to add the System.Web dll here. C# projects do not add all dependencies by default -- rather, they provide you with a list of potential references, and let the user pick and choose on an as-needed basis.

Under your project, find the Dependencies section. Right click, and click Add Reference. Under Assemblies, find System.Web and check the box next to it, then click OK.

Once you add that, then you will need to add using System.Web to the top of your file.
