could not load file or assembly HtmAgilityPack verion 1.4.6.0

Question

Ok, i have tried EVERYTHING mentioned on the internet. I have made most of my project in VS 2013 Express for Web. Since it doesn't support Crystal Reports, i reverted to VS2012 Ultimate. It opened the solution just fine and is working as well. The trouble i am having is when i try to add report, it goes past the Naming part, when it is about to load the report page it gives me the following error: ErrorLink. My Toolkit was working fine on VS2013. Toolkit version: 7.1213 AjaxMin: 4.97 HtmlAglilityPack: 1.4.9

I am giving my web.config file here:

I rebuilt the solution, cleaned it. I don't know what else to do. Any kind of help will be deeply appreciated.

Error Message:

Could not load file or assembly 'HtmlAgilityPack, Version=1.4.6.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=bd319b19eaf3b43a' or one of its dependencies. The system cannot find the file specified.

Solution 1

ok, i did alot of searching and thanks to @Caleb and other person for being with me through it all. i uninstalled and reinstalled the different version of CR. It brought up some COM error about some object model lib. I removed the reference and tada.. it's working fine now. And DO NOT forget to do this:

`When using ADO.NET with the Microsoft .NET Framework 4.0 (and above), the following setting must be added to the application’s configuration file:

<configuration>
<startup useLegacyV2RuntimeActivationPolicy="true">
<supportedRuntime version="v4.0"/>
</startup>
</configuration>`

Hope this helps.

Solution 2

I guess the error is with the version of assembly.

You specify that you work with follow :

HtmlAglilityPack: 1.4.9.0

In your code you have following

 <assemblyIdentity name="HtmlAgilityPack" publicKeyToken="bd319b19eaf3b43a" culture="neutral" />  
 <bindingRedirect oldVersion="1.4.5.0-1.4.6.0" newVersion="1.4.6.0" /> 

I believe it shouldn't be there since you are using the newer version 1.4.9.0 and you already have that reference. (Which I miss to note on my first try to answer)

  <dependentAssembly>
  <assemblyIdentity name="HtmlAgilityPack" publicKeyToken="bd319b19eaf3b43a" culture="neutral" />
  <bindingRedirect oldVersion="0.0.0.0-1.4.9.0" newVersion="1.4.9.0" />
  </dependentAssembly>

I thought the csproj was updated automatically when upgrading nuget packages?
