Solution 1

Way to reference a dll is:

1. In Solution Explorer, select the project.
2. On the Project menu, click Add Reference. The Add Reference dialog box opens.
3. Select the tab indicating the type of component you want to reference. (If you don't find your .dll in the list, then go to the browse tab and find it in your directory)

An article on MSDN to include installed libraries.

And there is another way to do it, too.

Solution 2

To have the needed references for AjaxControlToolkit

Right Click project/solution > Manage NuGet Packages..> Install AjaxControlToolkit.

This will add needed assemblies to your solution.

Solution 3

You're missing an assembly reference. So you need to reference AjaxControlToolkit.dll in your project.

Solution 4

I have faced the same issue. I have deleted all the files from the bin folder and then added the files back to the folder. It worked successfully. Hope it resolves your issue.

Solution 5

This is general issue of dll

for solving this you must have 3 dll in your Bin folder

1--AjaxControlToolkit.dll

2--AjaxControlToolkit.dll.refresh (Refresh file)

3--AjaxControlToolkit (Program Debug database)

Now just add the AjaxControlToolkit.dll refrence in your application.

I had it. But I needed to uninstall and reinstall again to make it work.
