I am trying to use Ajax control toolkit in asp.net website. I copied the dll from one of my previous sample project. It has the following details
Assembly Version - 3.5.40412.0
File Version - 3.5.40412.2
Internal Name: Ajax Control Toolkit
Language : Neutral
Product Version - 3.5.40412.2
When I add reference to this assembly, it appears as "AjaxControlToolkit-3.5.40412.2" in the reference list. When I run the solution, I get a FileLoadException: Could not load file or assembly 'AjaxControlToolkit-3.5.40412.2' or one of its dependencies. The located assembly's manifest definition does not match the assembly reference. (Exception from HRESULT: 0x80131040)
I want my application to do something special :D.. jks
I just want it to compare assembly version to the file version something like this (btw i also want it if it is the same i want it to enable a button):
Private Sub StartSplash_Load(sender As System.Object, e As System.EventArgs) Handles MyBase.Load If Assembly Version = File Version Then
[Code].....
so how do i detect Assembly & File version numbers?
I have a VB.net 2005 project MyProject.exe which is referring to a strong named dll ReferenceDll1.dll in its references. The ReferenceDll1.dll is referred as Specific Version=False. The version on the strong named reference ReferenceDll1.dll was 1.0.1.2 when I compiled my project. Few days later, I got updated ReferenceDll1.dll as 1.0.1.3. Replacing this dll in the install directory fires following exception.
System.IO.FileLoadException: Could not load file or assembly 'ReferenceDll1, Version=1.0.1.2, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=0242eaa067ef8af5' or one of its dependencies. The located assembly's manifest definition does not match the assembly reference. (Exception from HRESULT: 0x80131040)
I have created windows installer application, now when I upgrade the same I get following error nother version of the product is already installed. Installation of this version cannot continue. To configure or remove the existing version ...use add remove program in control paneI changed the version number but still I get the error.. I even tried changing the product code and set removepreviousversion property to true but still no luck
I have dll and exe files which have assebly version numbers different from the values stored in AssemblyInfo.vb.If I look at the information displayed in the Details tab of File properties in Windows, the File version and Product version values are identical with the values of AssemblyInfo.vb. But when I use My.Application.Info.Version to display the version number at runtime, the value displayed is incorrect. Also when I add a reference to a dll file, the referenced version is incorrect. The incorrect value is the same as the value last time AssemblyInfo.vb was edited on the local machine. If the AssemblyInfo.vb file is edited on another machine, the value won't be updated on other machines.
Typical example: On a nightly build the build server increments the build number of all AssemblyInfo.vb files. When developer workstations are updated in the morning (get latest) the build number isn't updated at runtime - even though the AssemblyInfo.vb file is updated and compiled into a new dll or exe file. But file properties in Windows displays the updated build number as described above. I've been looking for other places where a version number might be stored (in case there are more than one place to update the version number), but I can't find any reference to the displayed build number when I search the source files.
If a developer workstation edits the build number, compiles, and edits it back to the correct value and builds again, the displayed value at runtime is equal to the value in the source file. It's like the AssemblyInfo.vb files must be edited on the machine that builds the solution, or the result is not reliable..
How does the Assembly Version get generated in VS/.NET? I know that there is a couple of strings in AssemblyInfo.cs or AssemblyInfo.vb with something like this:[code]But how does the final assembly version get created? How does it get incremented? Where does the last value get stored? We have a custom in-house release environment and I would like to customize the assembly version.
VS 2008 Is there a way to set the assembly version programmatically? For example, My.Application.Info.Version.Major is readonly. Therefore, I was wondering if there was a way to call some code from the assemblyInfo file to set <Assembly:
I've seen a lot of the "auto version" update add-ons for VS, and well I decided to write one for myself. It's manually triggered, but put as a external tool in the IDE it works rather nice. I based it off of reading the AssemblyInfo.vb file for a project (so at the moment it only works in VB not C#). So my app (given certian parameters) will auto increment the FileVersion and Assembly version together, so they stay the same through out. (it simpler for me that way). But i noticed a little issue with this method of reading the assemblyinfo.vb file, changing the values and saving the file and then forcing a "Rebuild" of the project.
When I go to Explorer, right-click | Properties on the file, in the Version tab, the "AssemblyVersion" has not changed, where the Product and File Version has. so for example I've got Test.Exe I open up the project properties and set via the UI the versions to:
when I build I get this warning "Found conflicts between different versions of the same dependent assembly"the target for the application is any cpuI went through all refernced project/solutions - they are all any cpu, .net 3.5. There are some externally supplied dll from microsoft, sybase which I don't have control.
I want to get this Assembly version, I have an old application and lost the source code. When I try to disassemble with reflect it ask for Microsoft.VisualBasic Version=7.0.3300.0 Where I can find it?
We have one program that acts as a "server" (so to speak) and many programs that reference it. every time we update the server, we are forced to update all the dependent programs to reference the new version number. Our IPC communication protocol is pretty stable and doesn't change, so we aren't worried about upgrade incompatibilities. I would like to know how to automatically reference the "latest" version of an assembly. What I mean is, if I choose Project->properties->references, I always get a specific version. Is there a way to reference whatever the latest version is? This way, we wouldn't have to update every program that is dependent on our server every single time there is an update.
I have this situation where LoadWithPartialName appears to be the only good alternative, although it is marked as Obsolete. I work in a very tight dev environment with versioning and deployment policies that cannot be easily changed or bypassed. Let's say there's a .NET executable that I have no control on (from another division). Let's call this the client AppA application. AppA's version is 10.11.12.x. Application AppA has a direct reference to one of our class library that provides some service to the caller (returns some information).
Let's call it SvcB and the version is also 10.11.12.x. Now, AppA's division does not need to update their system as often as we do, so AppA's version will stay 10.11.12.x for some time, probably until we decide to change the format of the class that is exchanged between us. Our division needs to change the logic behind the service SvcB more often and the version must change with every major deployement.
So let's say we change the logic and we deploy a new version of SvcB, 11.02.11.x. AppA will still reference the old version, so the logic being used is now incorrect. We are thinking of creating a new "facade" to our service. Let's call it SvcFrontB. SvcFrontB's version will stay the same, in sync with the AppA's own version. Now I need SvcFrontB to load the most recent version of SvcB through reflection. This way, I am sure the latest logic is always used. How do I achieve that without using LoadWithPartialName ?
Is it possible to load a referenced assembly only if the .NET Framework version is lesser than a specific number? I'm using a selfmade LINQ library on .NET 2.0, but if the framework is 3.5+, it should use the M$ LINQ library, and ignore the selfmade one. Here's my library: [URL]
I created one windows application in visual studio 2008 (.net 3.5) and successfully created setup application also. It working fine. But in the customer system the application throws the title error. I got from another thread as add 'stdole.dll' in the setup application. But that answer related to
Every time I compile a new release build in vb.net 2009, the file version number of my main exe is correct, but the assembly version number is the same as the last build instead of the current version even though I manually change the file and assembly version in the design studio to be the same prior to compiling.The only way I can get the assembly version to be correct is to close Visual Studio and delete the obj folder. Then if I open the solution and recompile, all is well.
Here is the information copied from the About box in VS:
Microsoft Visual Studio 2008 Version 9.0.30729.1 SP Microsoft .NET Framework

I am trying to upgrade a project from VS2005. It is a VB.NET project B that depends on a C# project that references a C++ dll, A.dll. I am getting an error saying 'Unable to find assembly A_class, Version 2.0.0.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=null'. The targeted platform of the C++ project is 4.0 and since that project depends on others, I can't downgrade it. But I did set the platform for the VB.NET project to 4.0. What else does the Version 2.0.0.0 refer to ? I have tried to create a brand-new project and added the vb forms into it after I have built it successfully. The C++ dll is in the output directory, if the VB project doesn't find it there, it doesn't get to this point. During build. I either get no error (but forms don't load) or I get 2 errors (one for each form):
I have a simple application, that was working just fine then all of the sudden I open the file and the design pages will not show up and I get the following warnings:

I have Visual Studio 2010 and a VB Project that had a reference to Microsoft.Interop.Excel 12.0. Well recently I changed the reference version to 14.0. That was actually a mistake and now I need to bump it back down to version 12.0. However I get this error in my project now...
Project 'MyProject' requires a reference to version '14.0.0.0' of assembly 'Microsoft.Office.Interop.Excel', but references version '12.0.0.0' of assembly 'Microsoft.Office.Interop.Excel'.
I tried removing references and adding the com object to, but no avail.
Right now i have a form in the VB where there are 2 combobox in it. user can choose from a range of products that comes together with some description and these are to be stored in a database table.. when i retrieve these data from another form in VB, i'm only able to retrieve the first product and it repeat e same product in my second textbox.
I have 2 datagrids. One to show Product information and another for Product purchase details entry. Both share the same dataset. The dataset (ds) is filled up with columns from 2 table
The problem is that: Showing from dataset or entering new records into the dataset is no problem, but am not able to save the modified dataset into DataBase. SqlCommandBuilder failed to generate the corresponding INSERT, UPDATE command as the dataset has multiple base tables.
I am looking for a free utility or way to protect my software by requiring a Product ID (Which will be created when a customer requests a paid license) to use the application after a demo version. Like most shareware apps.

I'm trying to install Visual Basic Express edition 2010 on my windows Vista computer. The .net framework 4.0 is installed (or so the control panel says), but the visual basic installation fails every time it gets to "Microsoft Visual Basic 2010 Express," which is the first item to be installed. before installing, I uninstalled the .net framework 3.5 along with vb and c++ 2008 express editions.First, I get the following error message 7 times in a row: The installer has encountered an unexpected error installing this package. This may indicate a problem with this package.
The error code is 2908.Then, I get the following error message: Error 1935.An error occurred during the installation of assembly'msddslmp,version="10.0.0.0",publicKeyToken="b03f5f7f11d50a3a",processorArchitecture="MSIL",fileVersion="10.0.30319.1",culture="neutral". refer to Gelp and Support for more information. HRESULT: 0x8002802F.Then, the installer quits, with the screen: Setup could not install the following component:Microsoft Visual Basic 2010 Express - ENU?
