Well, at any rate I am glad it is working now

Just to wrap this up.



It got magically fixed. Sorry I don't know what the answer was it just started working.



The only thing I can think is that the web server did get restarted over the holiday, could this have been the "magic" that made this huge headache of mine go away?

I am on "vacation" but yes I am available. I emailed you.

Keith Chisarik

I tried sending you an email through the forum to setup a screen sharing session, but I got an auto response that said you would be out of the office until the 30th... are you available to do a session?

anyone?

Keith Chisarik

any further ideas to try will be greatly appreciated, I have a customer waiting for what admittedly should have been a "simple update".

no occurances of the string "1.5" after searching

Keith Chisarik

Do a search within your application for 1.5.0.0.  Most likely, there is a page reference or a reference in one of the resources that is looking at 1.5.  If the app is using 1.6, but the page or resource is referencing 1.5, then it's going to give you that error. 

As for keeping the 1.6 DLLs in the bin\ folder and the 1.5 DLLs in the GAC, it will work fine once you get rid of the pesky reference to the 1.5 that is hanging on somewhere.  Most likely, it's in an obscure place somewhere (not in the web.config) in one of the <%Page %> declarations or something.  Just do an "Entire Project" search and you should find something somewhere.

I put the 1.6's in the GAC to no avail, unable to uninstall the 1.5's (I did find backups of these) due to "required by other applications"



Heeeeeelp
