PortableLibrary Could not load file or assembly - webforms

I have asp.net 4 webforms website which references PortableLibrary project. In the website I serialize classes from PortableLibrary. When I deployed the project to webserver machine with IIS6 I'm getting following error:
Could not load file or assembly 'System.Xml, Version=2.0.5.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=7cec85d7bea7798e, Retargetable=Yes' or one of its dependencies. The given assembly name or codebase was invalid. (Exception from HRESULT: 0x80131047)
the portable library project references System.Xml (v4.0.31029).
When I tried to deploy clean project without references, just with simple serialization of string object, it worked fine.
A tried assemblybinding in web config but without success.
Why I'm getting this error? I have no idea from where comes the '2.0.5.0' version of system.xml.

answer from here: http://visualstudiogallery.msdn.microsoft.com/b0e0b5e9-e138-410b-ad10-00cb3caf4981
which worked for me
We'll have clearer docs around this when we release, however, you need to have Update for Microsoft .NET Framework (KB2468871)[1] installed on the web server. You will also need to remove the the binding redirect - this will actually have the reverse effect of disabling the feature. :) [1] http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/en/details.aspx?FamilyID=41bdce1f-3cb3-44bb-9b33-23a1b8c99ac3&displaylang=en

Could not load file or assembly 'Microsoft.Configuration.ConfigurationBuilders.Azure, Version=1.0.0.0

Tying to build a freshly cloned project, when i build i get this error
Could not load file or assembly 'Microsoft.Configuration.ConfigurationBuilders.Azure, Version=1.0.0.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=31bf3856ad364e35' or one of its dependencies. Strong name signature could not be verified. The assembly may have been tampered with, or it was delay signed but not fully signed with the correct private key. (Exception from HRESULT: 0x80131045)
Things I've tried
Removing the reference and adding back in
changing build properties from debug to release
disabling strong name verification via command line using the command "sn -Vr
Microsoft.Configuration.ConfigurationBuilders.Azure.dll"
i've tried updating the reference to latest / previous versions
Everything I try and nothing seems to work, any other ideas?
In app.config or Web.config, delete the following:
, Version=1.0.0.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=31bf3856ad364e35
download this nuget package and this will work for you.
.NET Framework:
For me the issue was that I had to change the Version=1.0.0.0 in my web.config to match what was loaded and referenced in the web application references. Right click [Microsoft.Configuration.ConfigurationBuilders.Azure] and go to properties and you'll see the version at the bottom. For me it was Version=2.0.0.0.

GENERATEFAKES fails with CS0234

My project builds for my teammates, but not for me.
Project:
Errors:
I deleted reference to mscorlib fake, recreated Fake for System, but got the same error.
If I try to add reference to mscorlib, I get message:
A reference to
'C:\Windows\Microsoft.NET\assembly\GAC_64\mscorlib\v4.0_4.0.0.0__b77a5c561934e089\mscorlib.dll'
could not be added. This component is already automatically referenced
by the build system.
I tried to add <Reference Include="mscorlib" /> to the project file, but this did not resolve the issue.
I use VS 2017.
Will appreciate any clue.
Thank you #Abhitej, for the answer. It resolved the issue. In addition to switching to higher version of framework I added tags like <Remove FullName="System.Security.Cryptography.CryptoStream"/> for each failing class to both ShimGeneration and StubGeneration in .fakes file.
In most cases like this one its tied to the version of .Net Framework installed on the box. As long as your test project targets the highest version of the Framework on your box, this should work out. Also when dealing with System* namespace please be sure to only generate fakes for types you need excluding others. That should help Fakes deal with API changes over versions and resolve any build errors you might be seeing because of this.

Could not load file or assembly 'EntityFramework' error

Could not load file or assembly 'EntityFramework, Version=4.3.1.0,
Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=b77a5c561934e089' or one of its
dependencies. The located assembly's manifest definition does not
match the assembly reference. (Exception from HRESULT: 0x80131040)
I only get this error when I add this code into my project:
private IUserRepository repository;
public SearchController(IUserRepository repo)
{
repository = repo;
}
I suppose that makes sense as I'm using EntityFramework for this. I'm just now sure how to fix this bug.
I've looked at this link: http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/e74a18c4.aspx
Though I'm not sure how to use this program? (It's always blank).
I think that this bug may have something to do with the fact that my database is hosted by dotnet-host.com and that there's some local references that break when it interacts with the database online.
What the error is telling you is that your project referenced a different version of EntityFramework.dll than it found at runtime.
Check which version of EntityFramework.dll did you reference in your project (update your question).
Make sure you copy all the relevant dll and *.manifest into application's bin folder.
Since It's an external host, You might need to install the EntityFramework through WebMatrix Package Manager. If you do, you can follow this tutorial.
Just make sure to install the same version of EntityFramework on your host site that you use for development, or
change your assembly reference to Specific Version = false on EntityFramework dlls (Note I'm not sure if it will work, because I always try to develop and deploy using the same versions, so maybe somebody can confirm?).

Could not load file or assembly 'System.Data.Entity

I am working within a Solution (a jokes website). The Solution has 2 Projects:
Model (C# Class Library)
MVC 3 Empty Application
I am trying to get my view to list the Jokes in the Database, but I get the following error:
Could not load file or assembly 'System.Data.Entity, Version=4.0.0.0,
Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=31bf3856ad364e35' or one of its
dependencies. The system cannot find the file specified
As you can see from the Error message, I have already added the System.Data.Entity to the web.config of the MVC 3 application.
No matter what I do, I seem to be unable to fix the error! I have added using statements for the Entity class, to the HomeController and the Index.cshtml.
To use an external Entity Framework model (embed in a DLL for example) with ASP.NET MVC 3 you must :
Add the following reference to your MVC project : System.Data.Entity (Version 4.0.0.0, Runtime v4.0.30319)
Add the following line in your web.config
...
< compilation debug="true" targetFramework="4.0">
<assemblies>
<add assembly="System.Data.Entity, Version=4.0.0.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=b77a5c561934e089" />
</assemblies>
</compilation>
To resolve this error:
Go to references section in your project
Right click it and than go add library package reference.
search in online tab for entity framework
you will get a lot of installed packages if u have internet connection enabled
Select EF4 package, and finally, add it
If you have any entity frame work installed and you are getting an error then click for add reference and in Browse tab go to below location:
C:\Program Files\Reference Assemblies\Microsoft\Framework\.NETFramework\v4.0
Select to find System.Data.Entity.dll and then add it. This will resolve this issue.
I was getting the same error, and it was because the MVC3 project used Entity Framework 4.1, and my domain model (in a class library project, same solution) grabbed 4.2 when I added the reference.
I uninstalled EF from my Web project, then reinstalled, now both have 4.2 and are working fine.
Currently working with the Apress title, Pro ASP.NET MVC Framework (Freeman).
another way to solve this is to add empty edmx file (Add -> Class -> Data -> ADO.NET Entity Data Model) and delete it afterwards.
I am not sure what the Visual Studio Wizard does, but it`s a common problem at my machine and i always fix it like that.
Make sure you have referenced the System.Data.Entity assembly in your project. Not only in the web.config assemblies section but also those assemblies being referenced. Also make sure that the System.Data.Entity, V4.0.0.0 is present in the GAC on the server you are running this application.

Migration issue from vs2008 to vs2010

I have Solution in vs2008 with framework 2.0. Now I migrated solution to vs2010 .net framework 2, and it works.
Here problem occur when I changed framework from 2.0 to 4.0, after that when I run application(win-form) it throws error on resource file saying
"System.IO.FileNotFoundException: Could not load file or assembly
'SpServer.resources, Version=1.0.0.2, Culture=en-US,
PublicKeyToken=null' or one of its dependencies. The system cannot
find the file specified. File name: 'SpServer.resources,
Version=1.0.0.2, Culture=en-US, PublicKeyToken=null' --->
System.IO.FileNotFoundException: Could not load file or assembly
'...SpServer.resources.dll' or one of its dependencies. The system
cannot find the file specified.
I have not made any extra resource file, and assembly was not satellite assembly too before if there is error. Please let me know how to sort out this issue.
From MSDN:
Beginning with the .NET Framework 4, the AssemblyResolve event is raised for satellite assemblies. This change affects an event handler that was written for an earlier version of the .NET Framework, if the handler tries to resolve all assembly load requests. Event handlers that ignore assemblies they do not recognize are not affected by this change: They return null, and normal fallback mechanisms are followed.
Please also see my answer to this question.
