system.web.extensions

[Ron]

Trying to deploy on SBS2003 server an app developed in Visual Studio 2008
(which runs fine on local machine), I get a message about an unknown type:

sectionGroup name="system.web.extensions"
type="System.Web.Configuration.SystemWebExtensionsSectionGroup,
System.Web.Extensions, Version=3.5.0.0, Culture=neutral,
PublicKeyToken=31BF3856AD364E35">

Checking the GAC, there is no such type installed on machine. I assume this
is either Ajax or .net 3.5 related (which I believe VS2008 incorporates
automatically)? Is this just a matter of installing 3.5 on the server?

Yes, installing .NET 3.5 will install the assembly into the GAC, I
believe.

Yes, System.Web.Extensions are particularly used by ASP.NET AJAX Extensions.
