The located assembly's manifest definition does not match the assembly reference.

Question

Hello community,

 

One of solution project has user control and XAML form with this control in the same project.

 

Code Block

<Window x:Class="Pulsatrix.Framework.Visualizers.VisualizerWindow"

xmlns="http://schemas.microsoft.com/winfx/2006/xaml/presentation"

xmlns:x="http://schemas.microsoft.com/winfx/2006/xaml"

xmlns:SmartParts="clr-namespace:Pulsatrix.Framework.SmartParts;assembly=" >

<SmartParts:TabWorkspace x:Name="MainWorkspace" />

</< FONT>Window>

 

WPF designer shows form in design mode without any warnings or errors. I compile application, run it and application encounters error at form's constructor on InitializeComponent() line

Code Block

public VisualizerWindow()

{

InitializeComponent();

}

 

Error description:

 

Code Block

Could not load file or assembly 'Pulsatrix.Framework, Version=1.0.2832.475, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=7391b53b94c15bbe' or one of its dependencies. The located assembly's manifest definition does not match the assembly reference. (Exception from HRESULT: 0x80131040)

 

 

 

But indeed Pulsatrix.Framework file version is 1.0.2832.477

 

So, question is why Visual Studio 2008 beta 2 after compile sets one version number to assembly but XAML form constructor requests another assembly version number?

 

How to solve this error?

 

One of workaround is to create TabWorkspace in code and assign it to Window.Content. But this is only workaround, I want gracefully solve this problem. 

 

AssemblyInfo.cs file has AssemblyVersion setting (there is no AssemblyFileVersion setting) and Neutral Resources Language setting.

Code Block

[assembly: NeutralResourcesLanguage("en")]

[assembly: AssemblyVersionAttribute("1.0.*")]

 

Below is detailed crash report. Report is long enough, but it shows detailed exception, Fusion log and loaded assembly list with version numbers.

Answer 1

 

Couple ideas:

 

1) If your application is ClickOnce deployed, you may be hitting issues with publishing.  Disabling "Automatically increment revision with each publish" or explicitly setting the assembly version to a known value may help.

 

2) If you are referencing the .dll of PulsatrixFramework directly, try referencing the project instead.  This will cause rebuild at compile time for the dependent project, and should help with versioning problems.

 

3) Check the make sure that the old version of Pulsatrix.Framework.dll is not in the GAC. (Gacutil /l from an SDK command prompt).  If there is a copy gac-ed, this will be honored before any other copies of the assembly. 

 

Hope any of this helps!

Answer 2

 

Hello Matt,

 

Regarding your ideas:

 

1) I do not use ClickOnce. This project is under development and all that I do is simply compile and run from VS inside or from command line in Debug folder. I'll try to explicity set the assembly version, but this is only workaround, not a solution 

 

2) All solution relations between projects are through project references not the dlls directly. But in this particular case, the usercontrol and form with this control is in the same project.

 

3) This is also not the case, cause xaml form tries to find the dll (btw, this form sits in the same dll !!) with different version that actually dll is. This long crash report also shows Fusion log, where you can find that this is not a case.

 

 

Anyway thank you for you ideas and time,

Arturas

Answer 3

This looks more like a Visual Studio problem. Moving from WPF forum.

 

Answer 4

The problem is basically the Assembly info

[assembly: AssemblyVersion("1.0.*")]   should be [assembly: AssemblyVersion("1.0.0")]

This should work fine....
