Problem compileing using linq

Including:

Code:

---

using System.Linq;
using System.Xml.Linq;

---

on an *.aspx.cs web page is standard in a C# ASP.NET website page generated by VS 2008. But if I port that page to my server, there occurs a compiler error when I try to access that page via the Internet (IE 8). Once the 'Linq' statements are commented out, the page works just fine.

One thing I notice. The Web.config file on the local VS 2008 generated ASP.NET Website contains the following

Code:

---

          <assemblies>
            <add assembly="System.Core, Version=3.5.0.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=B77A5C561934E089"/>
            <add assembly="System.Web.Extensions, Version=3.5.0.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=31BF3856AD364E35"/>
            <add assembly="System.Data.DataSetExtensions, Version=3.5.0.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=B77A5C561934E089"/>
            <add assembly="System.Xml.Linq, Version=3.5.0.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=B77A5C561934E089"/>
          </assemblies>

whereas my server based Web.config file does not contain the 'System.Xml.Linq' assembly. Could that be the problem?

your web.config files should be the same. you should definitely have all of those assemblies in the web.config on the server.

Might want to check out what version of the Framework you have installed on the server too.... making a reference to 3.5 objects (like LINQ) when FW2.0 is the only one installed will cause problems.

Thanks. :wave:
