Hello,

I have the same problem wenn i synchronize the extern list to Sharepoint Workspace. And the dialog "Microsoft Office Customization Installer" ist't appear. Wenn i goto Event Viewer, in Windows Logo Application, i see the error:

"Load control template file /_controltemplates/TaxonomyPicker.ascx failed: Could not load type 'Microsoft.SharePoint.Portal.WebControls.TaxonomyPicker' from assembly 'Microsoft.SharePoint.Portal, Version=14.0.0.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=71e9bce111e9429c'."

And I can't sync the external data anymore.

Answer 3

Not sure if I get what you guys mean, but maybe following post can help:

Answer 4

I think it's just sth else with me.
I've install the Release Candidate Patches 4747, and now havn't das problem anymore.

Answer 5

I still have the same issue in RC. Even though there is no error when you peform various operations on the site UI, but you may find this error in the system Event Log. Here is my resolustion:

Go to <drive>:\Program Files\Common Files\Microsoft Shared\Web Server Extensions\14\TEMPLATE\CONTROLTEMPLATES,
Open TaxonomyPicker.ascx in any text editor,

Locate the following line :
<%@ Control className="TaxonomyPickerControl" Language="C#" Inherits="Microsoft.SharePoint.Portal.WebControls.TaxonomyPicker&#44;Microsoft.SharePoint.Portal, Version=14.0.0.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=71e9bce111e9429c" %>

Replace '&#44' with ',' , the correct line should look like

<%@ Control className="TaxonomyPickerControl" Language="C#" Inherits="Microsoft.SharePoint.Portal.WebControls.TaxonomyPicker, Microsoft.SharePoint.Portal, Version=14.0.0.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=71e9bce111e9429c" %>

Answer 6

I'm seeing this in RTM release as well. I would go with with solution proposed by Xiaofeng Wang

Answer 7

Impressive Xiaofeng Wang, nice discovery!

Answer 8

Also worked for me. Thank You Xiaofeng.

Answer 9

While this appears to be a fix, it may not prevent the error from displaying since this TaxonomyPicker class does not exist in Microsoft.SharePoint.Portal.dll.  A better solution, IMO, would be to rename this TaxonomyPicker.ascx control since it is not used.  See Todd Carter's post for more information:  http://todd-carter.com/post/2010/05/03/Help-Wanted-Taxonomy-Picker.aspx

My observations

Essentially, I believe it was replaced with TaxonomyTreePicker.aspx.

Answer 11

Hey Guys,

I just hit this with the RTM release.  I've just used the &#44; -> , fix and left it at that.

A shame it ended up in the RTM (I've seen a few things that were Beta/RC bugs and still in RTM), but I guess it was both low impact and late in finding solutions.

Update: after fixing the @#44; I still have the problem, so I renamed the file, which fixes it. Until you run psconfig/SharePoint Config Wizard, which seems to put the file back again (I installed Web Apps to get FAST going)

Later'ish

Answer 12

Hi!

I have the same problem and after fixing the line the error still comes up time to time. Is this somehow linked to the users presence feature? I have faced a problem where users presence tags goes "offline" when their not supposed to...at the same time these errors come up. RTM! Now I renamed it and hoping that the errors would go away. SharePoint...what a pain in a butt...always something!

-J

Answer 13

I changed the filename to TaxonomyPicker_broken.ascx, and it still shows the error in Event Viewer...and users presence tag still not showing...waited over night but no change.

/_controltemplates/TaxonomyPicker_broken.ascx lataaminen epäonnistui: Could not load type 'Microsoft.SharePoint.Portal.WebControls.TaxonomyPicker' from assembly 'Microsoft.SharePoint.Portal, Version=14.0.0.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=71e9bce111e9429c'.

-J

Answer 14

Presence tags didn't work cause in IE NameCtrl Class Addon was disabled somehow.

Answer 15

I have the same problem and after fixing the line the error still comes up time to time, Can any one help please

Answer 16

I also continued to recieve this error after using the fix described above. I noticed later in the file that the &quot; string showed up several times on line 16. I believe this should be replaced with a '.

Line 16:
<a href="javascript:WebForm_DoPostBackWithOptions(new WebForm_PostBackOptions(&quot;ctl00$PlaceHolderMain$ctl00$RptControls$onetidSaveItem&quot;, &quot;&quot;, true, &quot;&quot;, &quot;&quot;, false, true))" onclick="return tunnelToTSMT();" id="editWithTermManagerLink">

Replace with:
<a href="javascript:WebForm_DoPostBackWithOptions(new WebForm_PostBackOptions('ctl00$PlaceHolderMain$ctl00$RptControls$onetidSaveItem', '', true, '', '', false, true))" onclick="return tunnelToTSMT();" id="editWithTermManagerLink">

This got rid of the error for me.

Hope this helps.

Answer 17

Changed " &quot " to " ' " but no change. Error still comes up.

 

Windows 2008 R2 Server & SharePoint Server 2010 Standard

Answer 18

Same error message here. Just tried both tips above, so changing the &#44; and &quot;, but error is still their.

Answer 19

Try to rename file to TaxonomyPicker.ascx _broken :)

Answer 20

Using reflector on Microsoft.Sharepoint.Portal and looking into Microsoft.Sharepoint.Portal.WebControls you won't find any TaxonomyPicker class!

Answer 21

Answer 24

Looks like Microsoft finally published an article on this:

http://support.microsoft.com/kb/2481844

Only problem is, they do the escape code mod. Which in my experience, doesn't always work. Particularly if you have to do a PSConfig at anystage, as the file seems to get regenerated...

At least it's officially acknowledged now.

Answer 27

It appears that iliastsouk is correct. The TaxonomyPicker.ascx control does not seem to be used at all in SharePoint 2010.  It has been suggested that this control has been superseded TaxonomyTreePicker.aspx.  I would like to see some verification from the SharePoint product team on this.

Therefore, it should be safe to rename the file to something like "TaxonomyPicker.ascx_broken" and forgetting about it.

Answer 28

the only thing you need to do is to remove TaxonomyPicker.ascx, it is not being used by sharepoint, I removed totally from my enviroment runnig in 5 servers, and I am not receiveing the error anymore, and I don't have any issue

Answer 29

Hey Mohammed,

while renaming/deleteing the TaxonomyPicker.ascx file certainly does fix the problem, please be aware that next time you have to run PSCONFIG, the file will come back and so will the error.

While this probably isn't a big deal for production environments, as you don't run PSCONFIG very often (only major patches/service packs should need it), can be a pain in test/dev.

Note: while I haven't applied SP1 beta anywhere, I haven't seen anything in the (beta) documentation that suggests that this problem goes away with SP1. But the SP1 documentation (and the beta download) only included hotfixes from 2010, so MS may have addresses it since then.

Thanks, this got rid of the error code 7043, now I'm getting an error code of 6857.  Im just trying to get email messages from my sharepoint designer workflow to show up in my outlook inbox.  Have already configured both servers so that my server that has sharepoint sends messages to my outlook account, and the outlook server to receive email from my sharepoint server.  This may be a firewall issue between the two servers??

Answer 34

Hi

I've just used the "&#44;" to "," and then tested the solutions by creating some SiteCollection, every ting whent well until I accessed the new site on IE, regardless of using a remote client or the same Server the error was logged again. In my case the error was logged only when accessing for the first time the newly created SiteCollection.

I gave a try to the “File Renaming” solution, then I renamed the file \14\TEMPLATE\CONTROLTEMPLATES\TaxonomyPicker.ascx, deleted the Site Collections I created previously and created some new ones, accessed the new site from IE and then, no more error. I still have to deal with one Warning regarding the “Object Cache: The super user account utilized by the cache is not configured…” but I wanted to share which solution worked for me.

My environment is W2K8R2 and SP2010STD with SQL2K8R2.
