I just deployed a website into IIS 7 (about which I am woefully ignorant), and upon trying to build the site, I receive this error. I did a little googleing and I saw an article that said I should put system.web.extensions.dll into the /bin. But, I also saw an article saying not to do that. I tried it anyway, but I just received a different error ('Resource cannot be found'). I am totally clueless as to what else to try

  • How did you deploy the site? Is this site running on your development machine? Are you sure that .NET 3.5 is installed on that system? Commented Oct 5, 2009 at 16:58
  • I copied the entire directory to the client's server, then added a new site in IIS and pointed it to the directory. It was running just fine here on my development machine, and yes, 3.5 is installed on the server. Commented Oct 5, 2009 at 17:08
  • Also, I tried installing / uninstalling / reinstalling the AJAX control toolkit, including restarting the server. Commented Oct 5, 2009 at 17:14

Can you use the "Publish" command in Visual Studio to publish directly to the site? If not, then use that command to publish to a similar site on your machine, then copy it to the customer site.

You should also look into the IIS Web Deployment Tool. It can copy an entire site, including IIS settings and any databases. It will be built into VS2010.

I'll try that, although I'm connected to their server via VPN, so I don't know if that complicates the process any...
the vpn connection is super slow, still copying the site over... will update when it's completed.

Go to control panel, then programs, turn windows features on or off, scroll down to Microsoft.net framework 3.5.1 expand, make sure both sub options are selected, this might help your issue.

Ok, so when I look in installed programs, I see .net 3.5 SP1. However, when I went in to add windows features, I only see an option for .net 3.0. I did what you suggested anyways, I enabled the options underneath this node, (WCF Activation) but I am still getting the same problem... Maybe I will try uninstalling / re-installing 3.5
