Ajax website build error : Could not load type 'System.Web.UI.Compatibility.CompareValidator' from assembly 'System.Web.Extensions'

Hey...

When i try to build solution for a Ajax based web site with Visual studio 2008 using the Framework 2.0, It gave the following error :

Could not load type 'System.Web.UI.Compatibility.CompareValidator' from assembly 'System.Web.Extensions, Version=1.0.61025.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=31bf3856ad364e35'

I was wondering what could be wrong! I tried placing system.web.Extensions in local bin folder. Tried placing in GAC again. There was no luck... when i goggled, found the following articles which was helpful. It seems the validators are removed in recent releases. The solution is to comment the following tags in web.config:

<tagMapping>
<!--
<add tagType="System.Web.UI.WebControls.CompareValidator" mappedTagType="System.Web.UI.Compatibility.CompareValidator, System.Web.Extensions, Version=1.0.61025.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=31bf3856ad364e35"/>
