The type or namespace "Linq" does not exist in the namespace "System",

Question

I am trying to create a Json.NET 2.0 library to install on the .NET framework version 2.0, and I get this error several times. I went to add a link to System.Linq in the project, but it does not exist in the list of links! What should I do?

Answer 1

Json.NET 2.0 does not support .NET 2.0. If you need .NET 2.0 support, use Json.NET 1.3.1 .

Answer 2

System.Linq is version 3.5 of the DLL; you will need to remove links to it to compile in version 2.0.
