Are you sure that DataMember is part of System.dll? A quick search on
the internet tells me it most probably is in
System.Runtime.Serialization.dll
see also http://stackoverflow.com/questions/12687315/datamember-could-not-be-found
So try adding -r:System.Runtime.Serialization.dll at the end of your command.

That would make sense. You are not specifying the Newtonsoft.Json.dll,
so it is complaining.

hope this helps,
