System.Data Doesn't Exist in Visual Studio 2010

I have a red line under System.Data saying that "The type or namespace 'Data' does not exist in the namespace 'System' (are you missing an assembly reference?)."

Thought I needed 4.5 .Net Framework, but I have another project that can use the namespace, so it is something with this project that I am using.

I have seen other threads similar to mine, such as this, but it isn't directly related to just system.data. It's trying to add a namespace beyond data, so there system.data namespace isn't the problem. Haven't seen any threads only related to just the system.data namespace. Any help would be appreciated.

Have you checked to make sure the reference to the System.Data assembly is in your project?

did you try to add the assembly reference in your project? right click on your project > add reference then select assemblies tab and finally System.Data and check it, then press ok.
