0	Here you have to consider 2 issues. 1st thing you must provide Integrated windows authentication . For this right click your project properties in IIS. and go to Directory Security tab click edit and enable Integrated windows authentication . 2nd thing which is your error you have to change the frame work level of your ASP application. for this right click your project properties, go to ASP.net tab. there change your ASP.net version to 3.5 on which you are working now. These Settings to be done on IIS. If you do not host the application at IIS. Apply these properties to Default web site which is located in the IIS. Hope this helped you.!!!!
