Created a new Web Application Project in Orcas, and it can't resolve System.Web.Extensions.
My web host doesn't support the 3.5 Framework yet, so I choose 3.0 as the ASP.NET version when I was creating the project.
So I figured, I would just add the reference manually, but when I browse to references, System.Web.Extensions is
disabled???
Ideas?

You might have better luck asking your question over on ASP.NET forums if you haven't already...

You'll notice it's a .NET 3.5 assembly, yet your project is 3.0, Visual Studio won't let you reference imcompatible assemblies.

Try putting the assembly into the bin folder of your website and referencing it locally. If you eventually get an error about an ambiguous reference you will need to remove the one in the bin folder.

And remember that ASP.NET AJAX Extentions was not a part of .NET 3.0. It is an add-on to the framework so it was not treated like WCF, WF and CardSpace which is installed with .NET 3.0. Your hosting provider may just need to install the AJAX Extensions and drop the assembly into the GAC.

Oh right, good point.
The odd thing is that I didn't manually add the reference, VS added it automatically.
If I install the Ajax Toolkit, will that break anything with the 3.5 Extensions?
