System.ServiceModel.dll missing in references visual studio 2010

Question

I want to use ChannelFactory<TChannel> Class I am trying to add reference to System.ServiceModel.dll but I not see it in the references .

I see there System.ServiceModel.web.dll but it is something different .

I am using VS 2010 .net 3.5.

Any idea what is the issue here ?

Are you sure the project is not set to "3.5 client profile"? — Johann Blais, Sep 22 '11 at 07:40
according to msdn it's also supported in 3.5 client profile with sp1. I don't know though, I can't access my pc. But you may try to check updates for sp1 if you did not. — umutto, Sep 22 '11 at 07:57

Do:

Add reference.
Browse, "C:\Program Files (x86)\Reference Assemblies\Microsoft\Framework\v3.0\System.ServiceModel.dll
Click OK

That worked for me

I take it that I need to target a higher framework than v3.0 when the missing reference is: `System.ServiceModel, Version=4.0.0.0`? – Wouter Vanherck Jun 26 '18 at 07:07

right click on the project in solution explorer, properties, then check again and select .NET Framework 3.5 and not client profile, all other info you might need are here, including a helpful screenshot: Where is System.ServiceModel.Web.dll?
