Missing Assembly Reference

I developed, and ran successfully, a web application on my development box,
but cannot get it to run on the server. The error I am getting is:

Compiler Error Message: CS0234: The type or namespace name 'Packaging' does
not exist in the namespace 'System.IO' (are you missing an assembly
reference?)

I have installed .Net framework 3.5 and 2007 Office System: Microsoft SDK
for Open XML Formats, but that has not resolved the problem.

Can someone please help me get this reference problem fixed? Thank you.

Very often Production box and Development boxes have different web.config
files.
Take a look at your production box in web.config file.
Is it referencing System.IO.Packa ging ?
also you might want to clear out the folder before you move new version. May
be there is an old forgotten dll or aspx page there

Thank you very much...I forgot that I had added a reference to the web.config
file.

Hi, Everytime I change my code and hit the start debug button on the ASP.Net WebApp project I often get a very annoying message saying such and such dll is missing from ASP.Net temporary directory. This is really strange it seems that there is a problem with Visual Studio.Net compiler because to fix this I had to stop the webserver, recompile (VS.Net rebuild), restart IIS and then start debugging.
