Re: Could not load file or assembly 'Gizmox.WebGUI.Server, | Specific Version?

I was debugging a deployment issue today - same message you were getting Kenn - and found a small thing that solved my problem. I'm sharing it here...

On review of the settings of the Gizmox references, just below where we set "Copy Local = true" there is another setting called "Specific Version" In our case this setting had got inadvertently set to "Specific Version = true". When I set these to "Specific Version=false" for all the Gizmox references and republished, the application finally fired up successfully.

It would appear - correct me if I'm wrong Palli :) - that under NO circumstances should this "Specific Version" ever be set to true.

Hopefully this will help someone.

Re: Could not load file or assembly 'Gizmox.WebGUI.Server, | Specific Version?

Hi Mike,

This is actually a good point you raise here.

Actually, I have not even thought about this, because as a part of my VWG update procedures, I always remove all references to Gizmox DLL's and then rereference the ones from the updated/new version. That way it really does not matter if they are set for specific version or not.

When you deploy your project and you have Copy local = true, then all the Gizmox DLL's get deployed with your project, and I never install VWG in the GAC of my webservers.

For the Microsoft.NET ones, they are all set for specific version = No.

If you do like me, and rereference everything from Gizmox after every update (to make absolutely sure), then it should not matter.

Sorry to hijack, but I get an error message when I try to post a new Thread. My problem is similar, but I get

The format of the file 'Gizmox.WebGUI.Server' is invalid.

Line 139: <add verb="*" path="*.wgx" type="Gizmox.WebGUI.Server.Router,Gizmox.WebGUI.Server,
Version=3.0.5701.0,Culture=neutral,PublicKeyToken=3de6eb684226c24d" />

I tried the Copy Local. I am using VS2005

Any suggestions?

Re: The format of the file 'Gizmox.WebGUI.Server' is invalid.

Hi,

If you are using VS2005, this web.config line is wrong. You should have Version=2.0.5701.0.

As this line is wrong version, most likely your configSections line is as well. Look at the top of web.config, in the configSections section and make sure Gizmox.WebGUI.Common is also version 2.0.5701.0

Hope this helps,

Palli
