No System.Web In VS2010

Question

In a WPF project, I'm trying to add System.Web as a reference but in Project -> Add Reference -> .NET there's no System.Web.

Any ideas?

Thanks.

Answer 1

Are you targeting the client profile rather than the full version of the framework?

I think the default target type in VS2010 for client applications (WPF, WinForms etc) is the client profile, which doesn't include System.Web.

Thanks (can accept answer only in 10 minutes :S). What is client profile? – Dylan

From MSDN: "The .NET Framework 4 Client Profile is a subset of the .NET Framework 4 that is optimized for client applications." msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/cc656912.aspx – Greengrocer

Note that you can pick the target framework in the 'new project' dialog, or after creating a project, right click the project and select 'properties' and change the application's properties to choose the target framework you want. – Calx
