If you are familiar with adding reference you will need to add those that are missing. If they are even available for .Net 3.5.
You can also check to see the exact names of any that are missing.
In VS, click on Project then Properties, select References and look to see if any are marked as missing, you will need to remove them, or add them, by next clicking the add button.
when the Reference Manager box opens, locate the correct references to add.
If you can provide more details about your errors we might be able to provide more guidance.
Some new namespaces and features are added in
.NET Framework 4.0, if you are using these new features or namespaces in .NET Framework 4.0 application then downgrade to .NET Framework 3.5, these new features or namespaces are not supported in .NET Framework 3.5, which will cause the error. If you are
using Visual Studio, you could check the error from Error List and modify the corresponding code based on error message.

.NET forums are moving to a new home on Microsoft Q&A, we encourage you to go to Microsoft Q&A for .NET for posting new questions and get involved today.
Can you post a list of the missing references? Which ones are throwing errors. Maybe we can help you further to locate how to get them added or updated.

Hi NatarajYashash,
Some new namespaces and features are added in .NET Framework 4.0, if you are using these new features or namespaces in .NET Framework 4.0 application then downgrade to .NET Framework 3.5, these new features or namespaces are not supported in .NET Framework 3.5, which will cause the error.
