How to reproduce:
1. Create and open a new project
2. In the toolbar, navigate to Window > Package Management > Package Manager
3. In the Package Manager window, delete the “Timeline” package
4. Create and open a new C# script
5. Back in the Package Manager, install the “Timeline” package
6. In Visual Studio, enter “using UnityEngine.Timeline;”, at the top of the script
7. Observe the Error List in Visual Studio

Expected result: No errors are thrown
Actual result: CS0234 error is thrown

Reproducible with: 2.0.11 (6000.0.51f1, 6000.2.0b6), 2.0.23 (2022.3.63f1, 6000.0.51f1, 6000.1.8f1, 6000.2.0b6)
Not reproducible with: 2.0.9 (2022.1.0a1, 6000.0.51f1, 6000.2.0b6)

Reproducible on: Windows 11
Not reproducible on: No other environments tested

Notes:
- Full error: CS0234 “The type or namespace name 'Timeline' does not exist in the namespace 'UnityEngine' (are you missing an assembly reference?)”
- The error is only thrown in the IDE, no error is thrown in the Editor
- Restarting the IDE fixes the issue

  1. Resolution Note:

    We have reported this issue to Microsoft they suggested to make sure Automatic Project Reloading is enabled in VS Options to avoid this problem

    .SDK style projects will allow this to be supported natively in VS.
