Cannot find DataContractJsonSerializer from an Asp.Net Mvc application

Question

I can't get access to the DataContractJsonSerializer method from System.Runtime.Serialization.Json

If I do:

using System.Runtime.Serialization.Json;

I get an error...

How can I access this in my Asp.Net Mvc app so I can use the DataContractJsonSerializer method

Make sure you've referenced the DLL where this type lives: System.ServiceModel.Web.dll

@Carlo, "The MSDN docs for .NET 3.5 incorrectly state that DataContractJsonSerializer lives in System.Runtime.Serialization.dll. This is true in .NET 4, but in 3.5 it's found in System.ServiceModel.Web.dll." - Ref: Comment by LukeH - [URL](http://stackoverflow.com/questions/3178218/using-the-wcf-datacontractjsonserializer-in-net-3-5) – Anthony Walsh Dec 19 '11 at 16:09
