I’m reading a blog on how to add MVC functionalities to an existing WebForm application. I’ve created a WebForm Application. To proceed further, I need to add a number of references to assemblies.
I’ve been able to add them all, but the System.Web.MVC. There’s no such assembly in the Add Reference Dialog box. But, the sample code that I downloaded contains a reference to that assembly.
Any how to overcome that problem?
Depending on the version of Visual Studio you are using, the MVC framework may not automatically be installed on your computer.
Check here to make sure you have the latest MVC installed
Additional suggestions:
When you go to Project->Add Reference make sure you wait for the list to fully populate and then click the System Component column header (the list is not alphabetized by default). System.Web.MVC should show up between System.Web.Mobile and System.Web.RegularExpression. You will not find System.Web.MVC there if you do not sort the column (even when you reopen the reference list).
If that still does not solve the problem then I would suggest a reinstall or simply dl MVC 3 if it isn’t already installed (only MVC 2 will be installed by default) and that should add the System.Web.MVC to your references.
