namespace name "HttpWebRequest" does not exist in namespace "System.Net"

[shalong]

Hi all,
VS 2008 is complaining that HttpWebRequest class is not in System.Net namespace

I have referenced System.Net and have coded "using System.Net"

I think its a setup problem rather than a coding error

The type or namespace name 'HttpWebRequest ' does not exist in the namespace 'System.Net' (are you missing an assembly reference?) C:\Documents and Settings\user\M y Documents\Visua l Studio 2008\Projects\W ebDAV\WebDAV\We bDAVAppointment Handler.cs 25 19 WebDAV

Any help much appreciated

What type of project is this?
If you go to the references section in the solution explorer, you should see some namespaces listed.
I have:
System
System.Data
System.Deployme nt
System.Drawing
System.Manageme nt
System.Windows. Forms
System.XML

With just those in the references section, I am able to find HttpWebRequest under the System.Net namespace.

According to msdn, it's supported in all .NET versions:

Aha!!!

I had the system.net and system.security referenced

after adding system (alone) it built successfully

Thanks....
