I get the following error message when trying to build my project with a new Crystal Report I added (this is the first one in the project).

Warning	9	The referenced assembly "C:\Documents and Settings\rlolley\My Documents\Visual Studio 2010\Projects\SMMS\Maintenance\bin\Debug\Maintenance.dll" could not be resolved because it has a dependency on "System.Web, Version=4.0.0.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=b03f5f7f11d50a3a" which is not in the currently targeted framework ".NETFramework,Version=v4.0,Profile=Client". Please remove references to assemblies not in the targeted framework or consider retargeting your project.

What is it trying to tell me. I have tried changing the targeted framework to .net framework 4 client profile, and I get this error:

Error	8	The type or namespace name 'CrystalDecisions' could not be found (are you missing a using directive or an assembly reference?)

I can't get past this.
Any help would be appreciated...
Thanks

Thanks for the tip. It pointed me in the right direction. My solution had multiple projects inside, and one of the projects was set to Client Profile and all the others were not, so I changed the client profile project to .net Framework 4 as the target platform and alll the errors went away.
Be sure to check ALL your projects for this issue or you will go crazy.
Thanks

This is regarding wrong selection of the .net Framework. Read this article to have an idea to solve it.

I am getting this error.
I did not get before. Now I've come back and I have it for no apparent reason.

Nothing is referencing System.Web in my dll.
Even if it was I should be able to reference any dll.

What is going on here?
