Hi, Recently I started using VS 2013. Before that I had used VS 2010. The problem is that: I cannot add refence of System.Web such that I cannot use its objects such as HttpContext. What can I do to solve it?

Most interesting...Can you elaborate on 'cannot add'? Did you got any error? System.Web is not on the list?

If I add System.web reference to a class library in vs 2013 (.net 4) I can only reach AspNetHostingPermission, AspNetHostingPermissionLevel, AspNetHostingPermissionAttribute, and no other objects such as HttpContext or HttpRequest. Is my installation wrong?

I done this: 1. Open new project of type 'Class Library' 2. Add reference to 'System.Web' 3. Add 'using System.Web' in my source code After all these I can access all the types you mentioned... You may be missing the proper using?

I exactly took the same steps. I've puzzled about this. And it only occurs in Class Libraries. System.Web is normal in web sites. Before that in VS 2010, there was no problem in adding and using System.web components to Class Libraries.

Life is short and the art is long.

I never seen such bug you report here... All I can tell you that I'm using VS 2013 Premium with Update 2... Maybe a clean install can help you...

Thank you. I tried it. Again I will uninstall and repeat it.

Does your project's "Target Framework" have the words "Client Profile" at the end? This was a subset of the full framework in 3.5 / 4.0 which doesn't include any of the ASP.NET stuff: http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/cc656912%28v=vs.110%29.aspx[^] Try changing the target framework to the full framework from your project's properties page, or the drop-down list at the top of the "new project" dialog.

I firstly looked at it. But it was normal .net 4.0. I suppose the reason of it was up to my laptop's configuration or an error during setup process. I will reinstall vs 2013 later. Now I'm again workin in vs 2010 in order to finish my other projects.
