Trust me. Remembering that there's a magic trick to get the installed versions of .net in IE is less likely to be remembered the next time I need to check what frameworks I have installed on my machine than poking around in the out of control panel will be.
Did you ever see history portrayed as an old man with a wise brow and pulseless heart, waging all things in the balance of reason?
Is not rather the genius of history like an eternal, imploring maiden, full of fire, with a burning heart and flaming soul, humanly warm and humanly beautiful?

This is going back a bit (showing my age!) but I remember having Vis Studio 6 installed on my work PC, installing a beta version of .NET (0.93 I think and .NET & Com having a turf war leaving me to wonder what the elephant was happening. This led me to have two dev machines until VS-2003 I didn't trust it!

When I first tested the Win 8 beta I discovered the dot net framework 3.5 was not installed by default.
So my programs would not work.
To install it you go to programs and features then the turn windows features on or off then check the box for the 3.5 framework.
It is the same in 8.1, not installed by default.
I don't know why they would disable it to start with.Unless they thought it would help the system load faster.
It is the same mentality that decided to bury the Default setting to delete all email from the server in outlook. who knows how many important emails I lost on set up the first time.
if you would like a utility based on this code.

I thought apps were supposed to fail forward to newer framework versions by default. Am I mistaken, or did you set a flag on yours so it runs on 3.5 only instead of 3.5 or newer ?

actually my apps were built in vs 2008. so the max it supported was 3.5
i've seen post where there are sometimes problems in vs 2010 targeting framework 3.5 but I don't mess with vs 2010 projects enough to have figured it out.
I am not aware of any fail forward. If it targets 3.5 then it would be required the best that I know of.

It sucks.
Seriously, I decided to give it a whirl and I am not enjoying being shouted out all the time; I know there is a switch for the shouty menus but I cannot be arsed to find it. I'll try to persevere and settle in with it, but I may just have to step back.

This covers what you need:[^]
However, it is better to remove the VS2012 downgrade and go back to VS2010 (recommended fix).

Why don't you make the jump to 2013, since it is out now?

THE MENU STILL SHOUTS AT YOU IN VS2013!

Oh come on, it is a simple registry fix to get rid of all caps.
That should NOT be a reason to avoid the upgrade.

It's the principle of the thing! It should at least have been a built-in option... and the bland, flat icons; are we reverting to the stone age?

See this[^] link to restore most of the colored icons (as in VS2010).

I honestly don't have a problem with the all caps menus, a bit appalling at first, but you get used to it. One problem I do have with it though is that the intellisense just magically disappears at times (there are ways to fix it, but annoying).

I'm with you, it took me about 2 days to make the adjustment from 2010 to 2012, and now it all looks normal to me.
I honestly don't get how resistant some people can be to inconsequential changes.
The difficult we do right away...
...the impossible takes slightly longer.

The only fix available to bring back intellidense is to restart vs2012. <sarcasm>That's not inconvenient at all</sarcasm>.

Yeah, that was so annoying, especially if your solution had a lot of projects.
But I recently just found, you can simply close the file where you've lost intellisense and then reopen it (See this.)[^]

Are you sure you do not enjoy being shouted at, if you cannot be arsed to find it? Took me few seconds to Google, few keystrokes to get Regedit where it needs be.

Hi, I appreciate that you're new to the site so you are probably not aware of the social "niceties" of this site. Unfortunately, you haven't asked your question in the right place. The lounge is not the place to ask programming questions in.
You should ask your question here[^] to get an answer. Now, you actually have all the information in the error message that you need to sort your problem out. You need to add a reference to System.Data.

It's clear...

Add the missing reference using the 'Reference' entry in your project (right click->Add reference)...
I'm not questioning your powers of observation; I'm merely remarking upon the paradox of asking a masked man who he is (V).
