Every time I download some open source or paid MVC3 app I get some assembly conflicts, ie: missing assemblies, wrong versions etc. So I figure I should ask a more general question:
In a typical project you have a folder called References and all assemblies seem to be in that folder, with their version numbers and Copy To Local options etc.
However out of the 10-20 references in that folder I often find just a few in the web.config.
I the latest case of this annoying mixup I have in web.config:
<compilation debug="false" targetFramework="4.0">
<assemblies>
<add assembly="System.Web.Abstractions, Version=4.0.0.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=31BF3856AD364E35" />
<add assembly="System.Web.Helpers, Version=1.0.0.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=31BF3856AD364E35" />
<add assembly="System.Web.Routing, Version=4.0.0.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=31BF3856AD364E35" />
<add assembly="System.Web.Mvc, Version=3.0.0.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=31BF3856AD364E35" />
<add assembly="System.Web.WebPages, Version=1.0.0.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=31BF3856AD364E35" />
</assemblies>
</compilation>
I get an error that project trying to load System.Web.Helpers, Version=1.0.0.0 - it's not found.
In the References folder the System.Web.Helpers referenced is version 2.0.0 and it's not possible to change this version number as it's greyed out. Changing to Specific Version doesn't change anything.
Question:
Why are there the 4 references in Web.config? Why not just the references folder?
Why do i often find a partial number of assembly tags in web.config instead of none or alternatively all the references seen under the References project folder?
Thanks,
Maybe try to re-install MVC3? Those references in the Web.config are ok, as they should be...
Here is my Web.config, in that part....
<add assembly="System.Web.Abstractions, Version=4.0.0.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=31BF3856AD364E35" />
<add assembly="System.Web.Routing, Version=4.0.0.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=31BF3856AD364E35" />
<add assembly="System.Web.Mvc, Version=3.0.0.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=31bf3856ad364e35" />
<add assembly="System.Web.Helpers, Version=1.0.0.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=31BF3856AD364E35" />
<add assembly="System.Web.WebPages, Version=1.0.0.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=31BF3856AD364E35" />

I have inherited a web app which reports the following assembly conflict when I try to build it under Visual Studio 2013;
There was a conflict between "System.Web.Mvc, Version=4.0.0.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=31bf3856ad364e35" and "System.Web.Mvc, Version=4.0.0.1, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=31bf3856ad364e35".
"System.Web.Mvc, Version=4.0.0.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=31bf3856ad364e35" was chosen because it was primary and "System.Web.Mvc, Version=4.0.0.1, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=31bf3856ad364e35" was not.

Microsoft.Web.Mvc.FixedDisplayModes, Version=1.0.0.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=31bf3856ad364e35, processorArchitecture=MSIL
The Web.config contains this with respect to that assembly;
<compilation debug="true" targetFramework="4.5">
<assemblies>
<add assembly="System.Web.Abstractions, Version=4.0.0.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=31BF3856AD364E35"/>

<add assembly="System.Web.WebPages, Version=2.0.0.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=31BF3856AD364E35"/>
</assemblies>
</compilation>
and
<dependentAssembly>
<assemblyIdentity name="System.Web.Mvc" publicKeyToken="31bf3856ad364e35"/>
<bindingRedirect oldVersion="0.0.0.0-4.0.0.0" newVersion="4.0.0.1"/>
</dependentAssembly>
I've tried removing and re-adding the assembly reference. That doesn't seem to change anything.
I can change the version in Web.config from '4.0.0.1' to '4.0.0.0', and that eliminates the warning, but is it the right thing to do?
Ideas?
Our project is built with VS 2010 and reports are built with SSRS 2005 and it works just fine, in this environment.
We are trying to migrate to SSRS 2012. In run time we get this error
'Microsoft.ReportViewer.Common, Version=8.0.0.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=b03f5f7f11d50a3a' or one of its dependencies. The system cannot find the file specified.
I copied the file "MicrosoftReportViewerCommon.dll" to the bin folder, but its version is 10.0.x.x. I don't know how to find version 8.0.0.0.
I don't know exactly what we should do. Is it supposed to add this file to the project? Or the references in the project should be changed to refer to another file version?? And how this should be done??
In the web form we have this line of code:
<%# Register Assembly="Microsoft.ReportViewer.WebForms, Version=8.0.0.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=b03f5f7f11d50a3a" Namespace="Microsoft.Reporting.WebForms" TagPrefix="rsweb" %>
and in web.config:
<system.web>
<httpHandlers>
<add path="Reserved.ReportViewerWebControl.axd" verb="*" type="Microsoft.Reporting.WebForms.HttpHandler, Microsoft.ReportViewer.WebForms, Version=8.0.0.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=b03f5f7f11d50a3a"
validate="false" />
</httpHandlers>
......
</system.web>
<system.webServer>
<handlers>
<add name="ReportViewerWebControlHandler" preCondition="integratedMode" verb="*" path="Reserved.ReportViewerWebControl.axd" type="Microsoft.Reporting.WebForms.HttpHandler, Microsoft.ReportViewer.WebForms, Version=10.0.0.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=b03f5f7f11d50a3a" />
</handlers>
</system.webServer>
Any help is appreciated.
After 2 days of searching the web, I figured out how to overcome this error.
I had to install ReportViewer 2005, and this installer will register “Microsoft.ReportViewer.Common Version=8.0.0.0” in GAC automatically.
I've been told that is not a good practice and it is just a workaround, because the project is not running using the most updated controls and it is still using the old ones.
For now the project is working fine, but I hope some body provide me with a real solution.
I had a similar problem and found I needed three files:
Microsoft.ReportViewer.Common.dll
Microsoft.ReportViewer.ProcessingObjectModel.dll
Microsoft.ReportViewer.WebForms.dll
And the config file looked like this:
<assemblies>
<add assembly="System.Core, Version=3.5.0.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=B77A5C561934E089" />
<add assembly="System.Web.Extensions, Version=3.5.0.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=31BF3856AD364E35" />

</buildProviders>
I have an error when I load Visual Studio 2012: "An exception has been encountered. This may be caused by an extension."
And here is the message from the xml file:

Cool, this is what worked for me, update the assemblies tag in the web.config file. During the load of the project the IDE is not able to load those assemblies. So here is my below...

I got error on my view page so I updated my visual studio to mvc4, though I am working on mvc3. I 1st updated using NuGet but it don't works so, I updated through standalone MVC4. so it worked. But when I tried to run MVC3 project it gives me following Error:
CS1705: Assembly 'MVC3Project, Version=1.0.0.0, Culture=neutral,
PublicKeyToken=null' uses 'System.Web.Mvc, Version=4.0.0.0,
Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=31bf3856ad364e35' which has a higher
version than referenced assembly 'System.Web.Mvc, Version=3.0.0.0,
Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=31bf3856ad364e35'
Can anyone help me with this?
Inside the web.config file in the Views folder there is the host element under system.web.webPages.razor
This should be as follows for an MVC3 project:
<host factoryType="System.Web.Mvc.MvcWebRazorHostFactory, System.Web.Mvc, Version=3.0.0.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=31BF3856AD364E35" />
While for MVC4 it is:
<host factoryType="System.Web.Mvc.MvcWebRazorHostFactory, System.Web.Mvc, Version=4.0.0.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=31BF3856AD364E35" />
You also need to check the pages element is as follows for MVC3
<pages
validateRequest="false"
pageParserFilterType="System.Web.Mvc.ViewTypeParserFilter, System.Web.Mvc, Version=3.0.0.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=31BF3856AD364E35"
pageBaseType="System.Web.Mvc.ViewPage, System.Web.Mvc, Version=3.0.0.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=31BF3856AD364E35"
userControlBaseType="System.Web.Mvc.ViewUserControl, System.Web.Mvc, Version=3.0.0.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=31BF3856AD364E35">
<controls>
<add assembly="System.Web.Mvc, Version=3.0.0.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=31BF3856AD364E35" namespace="System.Web.Mvc" tagPrefix="mvc" />
</controls>
</pages>
and the sectionGroup element:
<sectionGroup name="system.web.webPages.razor" type="System.Web.WebPages.Razor.Configuration.RazorWebSectionGroup, System.Web.WebPages.Razor, Version=1.0.0.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=31BF3856AD364E35">
<section name="host" type="System.Web.WebPages.Razor.Configuration.HostSection, System.Web.WebPages.Razor, Version=1.0.0.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=31BF3856AD364E35" requirePermission="false" />
<section name="pages" type="System.Web.WebPages.Razor.Configuration.RazorPagesSection, System.Web.WebPages.Razor, Version=1.0.0.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=31BF3856AD364E35" requirePermission="false" />
</sectionGroup>
In the main web.config in the root directory of the project you need to make sure that the assemblies element is as follows:
<assemblies>
<add assembly="System.Web.Abstractions, Version=4.0.0.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=31BF3856AD364E35" />
<add assembly="System.Web.Helpers, Version=1.0.0.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=31BF3856AD364E35" />
<add assembly="System.Web.Routing, Version=4.0.0.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=31BF3856AD364E35" />
<add assembly="System.Web.Mvc, Version=3.0.0.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=31BF3856AD364E35" />
<add assembly="System.Web.WebPages, Version=1.0.0.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=31BF3856AD364E35" />
</assemblies>
There are more changes to make - best bet is to look at the web.config files for an MVC3 project and an MVC4 project and remove the stuff that shouldn't be there in yours.
I had the exact same problem with a later version of MVC. After I updated all my packages through Nugget, the problem is resolved.
The following worked for me
Install-Package Microsoft.AspNet.Web.Optimization
The worked solution for me i deleted the reference in project which gives error.
Reinstall that again with right click project -> add references --> search the name of Assembly then add that again.
for this question you have to delete System.Web.Mvc under first project references and click project -> add references --> Search System.Web.Mvc (you will see that is 4.0.0.0 now) install it.
you can download System.Web.Mvc.dll with version that you are looking for then :
Reference -> add ->browse and select ur file.
this solution worked for me !!
Good luck
I am trying to host my website in godaddy its MVC3 .net website after copying deployed version in the server i get the following error:
CS0234: The type or namespace name 'Helpers' does not exist in the namespace 'System.Web'
Source Error:
Line 33: <pages controlRenderingCompatibilityVersion="3.5" clientIDMode="AutoID">

Line 35: <add namespace="System.Web.Helpers"/>
Line 36: <add namespace="System.Web.Mvc"/>
Line 37: <add namespace="System.Web.Mvc.Ajax"/>
Any suggestions?
Make sure that the System.Web.Helpers assembly is registered in the <assemblies> section:
<compilation debug="true" targetFramework="4.0">
<assemblies>
<add assembly="System.Web.Abstractions, Version=4.0.0.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=31BF3856AD364E35" />
<add assembly="System.Web.Helpers, Version=1.0.0.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=31BF3856AD364E35" />
<add assembly="System.Web.Routing, Version=4.0.0.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=31BF3856AD364E35" />
<add assembly="System.Web.Mvc, Version=3.0.0.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=31BF3856AD364E35" />
<add assembly="System.Web.WebPages, Version=1.0.0.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=31BF3856AD364E35" />
</assemblies>
</compilation>
Also contact your hosting provider to ensure that he has ASP.NET MVC 3 installed and that those assemblies are available in the GAC. If this is not the case you may try to bin deploy your ASP.NET MVC 3 application.
