Hi Mike,

If it's so urgent, did you try to use Google? There any many articles and forum posts about the error you get.

Anyway, you probably need to add a reference to the System.Web assembly either in your VS.NET project, or on the command line.

HtH,

Hi

I searched in google and found that I had to add the reference for the web.dll in my code like /r:system.web.dll

But now another error comes which states that reference to System.ComponentModal not added. I used imports System.ComponentModal in my code. But didn't work.

Suprisingly when I tried to add a reference byright clicking the solution explorer, there was no such reference (System.ComponentModal).

Now what should I do? Please help
