If you have added an ASP.NET website project reference to an existing Visual Studio 2022 application and the reference is set to "x86" while the application is set to "Any CPU," you might need to change the ASP.NET website reference to "Any CPU" as well.

To do this, you would typically right-click on the ASP.NET website project, select "Properties," and look for the "Build" or "Platform Target" option. However, in some cases, you might not have the "Properties" option when right-clicking on the ASP.NET website project.

In such situations, you can try manually editing the project file of the ASP.NET website project. Open the project file in a text editor (e.g., Notepad), search for the "PlatformTarget" attribute, and change its value from "x86" to "AnyCPU" or "Any CPU" (without the quotes). Save the changes and reload the project in Visual Studio.

By making this adjustment, you should be able to align the reference's CPU target with the application's target, allowing them to work together smoothly.
