The assembly with display name 'VJSharpCodeProvider' failed to load

Viewed 18827

I added an AjaxToolkit:AutoCompleteExtender to my ASP.Net 3.5 application. The web service lives in the same web application. Now I am getting this error when I hit F5/Debug in VS2008, and backing out the changes step-by-step so far have not revealed the cause yet.

I can't seem to get rid of the error. While the application starts up and I don't notice any issues once it is running.

BindingFailure was detected
Message: The assembly with display name 'VJSharpCodeProvider' failed to load in 
 the 'LoadFrom' binding context of the AppDomain with ID 4. The cause of the
