why can't I add a reference to system.web

I am trying to add a reference to System.Web to my VB.net 4.0 Console application Project so I can use the HTML encode function. I don't see System.Web in the add reference box.

enter image description here

This code shows namespace cannot be found 

Imports System.Web.HTTPUtility

Am I missing something?

You're using the .NET 4 Client Profile. Change it to the full framework under the Project settings.

For C#, look under the "Application" tab for the "Target Framework" option.

For VB .NET, look under the "Compile" tab for the "Advanced Compile Options" button. Click that, and the last option will be for the target framework.
