It seems my problem has very little documentation and all the solutions I've found online don't seem to work.
I am trying to install the Ajax Control Toolkit using the NuGet on Visual Studio 2012.
I follow the installation instructions perfectly. This installs Ajax Control Toolkit and all of its dependencies.
I am prompted that the web.config has changed. I approve and reload it.
I am trying to create something:
<%# Page Language="VB" AutoEventWireup="false" CodeFile="Default.aspx.vb" Inherits="_Default" %>
<%# Register Assembly="AjaxControlToolkit" Namespace="AjaxControlToolkit" TagPrefix="asp"%>
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml">
<head runat="server">
<title></title>
</head>
<body>
<form id="form1" runat="server">
<div>
<asp:ScriptManager ID="ScriptManager1" runat="server"></asp:ScriptManager>
<asp:AjaxFileUpload ID="AjaxFileUpload1" runat="server" />
</div>
</form>
</body>
</html>
but when I build the project I get two errors:
Error 1 Unknown server tag 'asp:ScriptManager'. C:\inetpub\wwwroot\comicosmos v1\Default.aspx 17
Error 2 Reference required to assembly 'System.Web.Extensions, Version=4.0.0.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=31bf3856ad364e35' containing the base class 'System.Web.UI.ScriptControl'. Add one to your project. C:\inetpub\wwwroot\comicosmos v1\Default.aspx 1 1 comicosmos v1
I've spent all morning trying out the few solutions I've found online and none of them seem to do the trick.
this is my web.config file:
<?xml version="1.0"?>

Can anybody see what's generating the problems?
Thank you!
This problem is not related to AjaxControlToolkit.
Your problem is related to ASP.NET run-time. Please check which version of .NET Framework are you targeting (in Project Properties Pane) it might be that you are targeting Client Profile version of .NET which doesn't contain the Web assemblies. Also check if you have System.Web.Extensions.dll in your bin folder.
And one thing that i noted, not directly connected to problem above: When you start using controls from AjaxControlToolkit you must replace ScriptManager control with ToolkitScriptManager.
http://www.asp.net/ajaxLibrary/AjaxControlToolkitSampleSite/ToolkitScriptManager/ToolkitScriptManager.aspx
Hope this helps!
In think you are using:
<asp:ScriptManager ID="ScriptManager1" runat="server"></asp:ScriptManager>
from Ajax Extentions
Instead You must use:
<ajaxToolkit:ToolkitScriptManager ID="ToolkitScriptManager1" runat="server">
</ajaxToolkit:ToolkitScriptManager>
from Ajax Tool Kit Toolbar.
I had a problem where, working on a new MVC project, as soon as I added Html.Partial("Name") to my _Layout.cshtml page, ASP.NET would throw this exception on page load:
error CS0012: The type 'System.Object' is not in a referenced assembly is defined. Add a reference to the Assembly "System.Runtime, Version = 4.0.0.0, Culture = neutral, PublicKeyToken = b03f5f7f11d50a3a" added.
The fix is to add this to the web.config, compilation element:
<assemblies>
<add assembly="System.Runtime, Version=4.0.0.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=b03f5f7f11d50a3a" />
</assemblies>
I'd love to know why this fixes the issue.
What's odd is that the new MVC app I'm using has a load of WebForms ASPX pages that work a treat. I've copied a ton of legacy WebForms stuff into this new MVC project, acres of code, and everything works, and without the Html.Partial call, even my MVC view renders.
So what on Earth is going on? What does this config do and why aren't the normal project references and target framework settings enough?
This is caused by a disconnect and limitation between the build time and the runtime environments of an ASP.NET/MVC project. Most code in a Web project is compiled at build time (ie F5) with exception to views (both Razor and inline ASPX code) which are built dynamically at runtime (ie within IIS).
For the most part, we attempt to make these two environments exactly the same and you will not typically notice any difference. Unfortunately. you've run into one of those cases where there is a difference and you've needed to manually add a reference to make the runtime mimic build-time.
What's happening, is that you likely have a dependency on a portable library (at a guess, Microsoft.Net.Http). Portable Libraries are a little different to normal libraries, and we need extra references to make the compiler happy. At build-time we detect a dependency on a portable library and automatically add all the references to C:\Program Files (x86)\Reference Assemblies\Microsoft\Framework\.NETFramework\v4.5\Facades. Unfortunately, the runtime doesn't do this and you need to manually add these references until we fix this in a future release.
For future reference, you can just grab the following section and paste this directly into Web.Config (this represents the snapshot for 4.5):

Encountered the exact same error after switching to VS 2017 & C# 7.1 and adding references to System.ValueTuple into my .NET 4.6 ASP.NET project
Problem solved by activating Roslyn in ASP.NET projects without fiddling with references in web.config
Added benefit of this is you can use new C# features in aspx pages and MVC views
I ran into this when I cleared assemblies due to being in an IIS application where the parent was referencing things I didn't want.
<system.web>
<compilation>
<assemblies>
<clear />
</assemblies>
</compilation>
</system.web>
Should have been obvious in hindsight, but the error didn't really seem linked to the cause.
I ran into a similar situation.I had an MVC project with Unity. Project was targeting .Net version 4.5.1 but my build machine was missing the 4.5.1 folder in C:\Program Files (x86)\Reference Assemblies\Microsoft\Framework.NETFramework folder.
So what solved my problem was copying v4.5.1 folder from my dev machine to the build machine.
You can find the link to the original answer here
Visual Studio 2017 MVC.RAZOR fixed by adding this to web app web.config section: here is a snippet of my Web.Config just after system.web node:
<system.web>
<authentication mode="None" />
<compilation debug="true" targetFramework="4.5.1">
<assemblies>
<add assembly="System.Runtime, Version=4.0.0.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=b03f5f7f11d50a3a" />
</assemblies>
</compilation>
<httpRuntime targetFramework="4.5.1" />
I have a performance issue with my ASP.NET MVC3 application,
I noticed that the pages are retrieved very slowly (~30sec per request) when a put debug="false" in the web.config file.
If I keep debug="true" the loading & navigation are not slow at all.
It sounds very strange and I didn't find a similar problem in the web.
here is the compilation section of the web.config :
<compilation targetFramework="4.0">
<assemblies>
<add assembly="System.Web.Abstractions, Version=4.0.0.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=31BF3856AD364E35" />

</assemblies>
</compilation>
I'm using IIS Express 7.0 on my local machine and IIS 6 on the production server (same issue)
I have a website using ASP.Net Webforms and Entity Framework and during compilation VS2010 tells me the following error:
error CS0012: The type 'System.Data.Objects.DataClasses.EntityObject' is defined in an assembly that is not referenced. You must add a reference to assembly 'System.Data.Entity, Version=3.5.0.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=b77a5c561934e089'.
The problem is that the reference is properly configured in web.config
The properties page of the project says that the Framework version used in the project is v3.5, which is correct.
Any help will be appreciated.
This is the assemblies section in my web.config

</assemblies>.
can you show your web.config references? My guess is that either the version # is off, or that perhaps the EF assmebly is not installed in the GAC.
Check that the exact version you want is referenced in web.config
If the assembly is in your bin directory, right click on it in Windows Explorer and choose 'Properties' and find the version. Make sure it matches web.config.
If you are relying on the GAC, open c:\windows\assembly in Windows Explorer to see if that exact version of the EF assembly is there
The only time I get that is when the DLL is missing from a project, and it may not just be the root project. If you have another project that uses the EntityObject class, and its missing there, you'll get the error.

What is the purpose of the Assemblies node in Web.Config?
I removed all the 'add' elements in the compilation/assemblies element.
So initially in my application's root web.config file:
<compilation debug="true" targetFramework="4.0">
<assemblies>
<add assembly="System.Web.Abstractions, Version=4.0.0.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=31BF3856AD364E35"/>

<add assembly="System.Web.DynamicData, Version=4.0.0.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=31BF3856AD364E35"/>

<add assembly="System.Data.Entity, Version=4.0.0.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=b77a5c561934e089"/>
</assemblies>
</compilation>
Now it looks like:
<compilation debug="true" targetFramework="4.0">
<assemblies>
</assemblies>
</compilation>
And my application still works. The project file still has all the references I removed, but this section appears to be unused during compilation (inside visual studio).
What is going on?
The references in this section of the application are used for the automatic ASP.NET compilation that is done on the fly. If you are deploying a compiled site, (no .cs or .vb files) then you are fine to remove it.
