I had a project that I've updated from
Compiling I get an error when I try to use or set the @ViewBag.Title
property.
One or more types required to compile a dynamic expression cannot be found. Are you missing references to Microsoft.CSharp.dll and System.Core.dll?
I have done the following
I'm at loss as to what else to do?
EDIT:
I notice in the GAC Gui there is System.Core 3.5.0.0 but no System.Core 4.0.0.0. Does this mean that its getting confused and is still using the previous version? Or am I misunderstanding the GAC?
EDIT:
My web.config looks as follows
...

For what it's worth, when this happened to me (in a project converted automatically from MVC2 to MVC3), all I had to do was add a project reference to Microsoft.CSharp. In my case the web.config already had the 4.0 references mentioned here, I assume courtesy of the upgrade script.
