Compilation error

 

You may receive a compilation error saying there are different versions of the System.Web.Extensions.dll library in the Global Assembly Cache (GAC) and a temporary folder. In this case, you need to locate the file bin/System.Web.Extensions.dll in your web project and delete it.
