I just upgraded to 2011.3 and now get this on web pages using the Stimulsoft controls:

Server Error in '/wd' Application.

Assembly Load Trace: The following information can be helpful to determine why the assembly 'Stimulsoft.Report.Web' could not be loaded.


Notice, I have never specified the version or PublicKeyToken on the Register Assembly and it has always worked (I have a lot of ASPX pages and I do not want to change each one of them every time I update the controls). It seems that now I need to use the version and PublicKeyToken ... this seems to work:


Was that change made on purpose? Or perhaps does my Visual Studio have the previous version cached somewhere? I would like if I did NOT need to add the Version and PublicKeyToken to the Register Assembly.

Thanks!

Hello.

We didn't do anything in this direction. Please, follow next steps:
1. Check the GAC, delete old and update new assemblies there.
2. Check assemblies version in the Bin directoty of your project.
3. Check your web.config file.

Thank you.

Thanks. Figured it out ... Visual Studio does not copy references to the bin folder of the website if the reference exists in the GAC. So I removed all Stimulsoft from the GAC, then when I build in Visual Studio it correctly copies the Stimulsoft references to the bin folder.

Thanks!

Hello,

Ok!

Please do not hesitate to post your new questions.
Thank you.

Hello.

The GAC is a Global Assembly Cache. You could read about it on the MSDN http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/yf1d93sz.aspx

Thank you.
