Problems with System.Web.Extensions | Tech Off

I am a Visual Studio 2008 user, and I recently began working on a project involving System.Web.Extensions. When I try to test the project, i get an error which reads:

Error 1 Could not load file or assembly 'System.Web.Extensions, Version=1.0.61025.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=31bf3856ad364e35' or one of its dependencies. The system cannot find the file specified. C:\Documents and Settings\Dan\Desktop\New Project\Web\Local700\web.config 35

I have added System.Web.Extensions to my references, and in fact the version in my references is 1.0.61025.0, which is the one the error says is missing. Also, I had the 3.5 version listed in my references, but I removed it, fearing that the error might have been some sort of conflict. Does anyone know what might be missing?

if( !succeed( try() ) ) { while(true) try(); }

Open up the Solution Explorer and expand the References tab. You should delete System.Web.Extentions and then re-add the file via Add Reference and it'll be in the .NET tab.

Did VS2008 add that reference?
(Curious...)

It should have looked like this: System.Web.Extensions, Version=3.5.0.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=31BF3856AD364E35

Well visual studio added the reference, but it had two version of the system.web.extensions. One was the 3.5 and the other was the 1.0.61025.0. I removed the 3.5 since the developers i am collaborating with are using VS2005. I am currently installing service pack 1 for my 2005 install to see if that makes a difference. (According to the AJAX prereqs this is necessary.)
