Version Information: Microsoft .NET Framework Version:2.0.50727.4200; ASP.NET Version:2.0.50727.4016

Answer 1

You should be able to manually remove the reference and then ad the correct reference by selecting Add Reference and select the correct version. Check your config file to see if the correct version number is displayed, if not, add it (3.5.0.0).

Answer 2

In the project, expand your References, and if System.Data.DataSetExtensions is listed, remove it. Then add a reference to the library. That will (should) update your web.config with the correct information.

Answer 3

I think you have a wrong reference. The correct version of the System.Data.DataSetExtensions assembly is 3.5.0.0:

System.Data.DataSetExtensions, Version=3.5.0.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=b77a5c561934e089

As the error suggests check out line 37 of F:\aspnet\WebSite1\web.config and see if you can put the correct version number.
