Go to Add Reference and start adding System.Design. That should be able to solve your problem.

Thanks for the suggestion, I will keep it in mind.

To help fill in the blanks regarding my posting, the machine I was trying to perform the install on may have not been properly functional when I did the install.  I had recently replaced the hard drive in that computer, reinstalled all of my .NET 1.1 items, then installed .NET 2.0.  I think in my reinstall blitz that took place late in the night, I may have incorrectly registered within IIS the .NET 2.0 and that may have something to do with my problem.

I say that because I just received a new laptop computer for an early Christmas present to myself.  I installed only my .NET 1.1 related items such as VS.NET 2003 and the like, no .NET 2.0 stuff yet.  I installed the non-2006 release of Rainbow and that worked just fine.  I removed it, and just this evening installed the 2006 Rainbow release and that installed without a problem.  So I am working now with 2006 locally to get a web site created and then I'll upload that to my web hosting space.

I have a same error when trying to setup Rainbow version 26/10/2005, I don't know the reason is.

I use WinXP, VS2003, .net framework 2.0; SQL 2000

Can you show me where is "Add Reference" ?

when I add System.Design in PagingDesigner.cs, i receive error message:

Compilation Error

Description: An error occurred during the compilation of a resource required to service this request. Please review the following specific error details and modify your source code appropriately.

Help me, I'm a newbie. Thanks so much.

As for the compile error you mentioned, I think the problem is likely
caused by the required assemblies not
referenced in your project. Just by adding the "using ..." statement is not
enought. You should also reference the required assemblies via the "Add Reference" function in the VS.NET IDE.

 You need to add:

System.Design.dll

In my case it was already there, but re-adding it fixed the problem for me.

I had not same but similar problem.I had Projects A and B in solution, A referenced B and this error was displayed:

The type or namespace name 'XXX' does not exist in the class or namespace 'B' (are you missing an assembly reference?)
 
The problem was that there was error in project B that caused B to be not built. See your output window for built errors.

 I have the same problem. hix. please share your solution if you found it.

Thanks

 Add the following to your web.config

        <compilation debug="false" strict="false" explicit="true">  <!-- or whatever attributes you want -->
            <assemblies>
                <!-- you may have other assemblies here -->
                <add assembly="System.Design, Version=2.0.0.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=B03F5F7F11D50A3A"/>
            </assemblies>
        </compilation>
