Got a hint in #1961 that I needed to install another extension:

#r "nuget: SandDance.InteractiveExtension, 1.0.45"

After doing that I am getting a new error message:

error CS1929: 'DataFrame' does not contain a definition for 'ExploreWithSandDance' and the best extension method overload 'ExploreExtensionsForSandDance.ExploreWithSandDance(TabularDataResource)' requires a receiver of type 'TabularDataResource'

After looking through the commit history on dotnet-interactive-extension-lab I found this: https://github.com/colombod/dotnet-interactive-extension-lab/commit/7b8e09e82dfaa21b37688c4f3a5a292dc5cb47c3

Seems the API was refactored and is no longer compatible with any of the examples found in the docs or the numerous blog posts throughout the internet.

To get this working you now have to do:

data.ToTabularDataResource().ExploreWithSandDance().Display();
