SYMPTOMS

When you convert a Microsoft Visual Studio 2003 Tools for Office InfoPath project to a Visual Studio 2005 Tools for Office InfoPath project, all the non-default references are removed. Additionally, when you try to build the project, you receive an error message that resembles the following:

The type or namespace name 'Xml' does not exist in the namespace 'System' (are you missing an assembly reference?)

WORKAROUND

To work around this problem, re-add any reference that is removed during the conversion process.
