I was attempting to move a module from a local test site to a remote production site.
I moved the web user control and source files over to the appropriate destination folder.
The remote production site has snapped.  I now receive an error which states that:

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

Caused somehow by an inablity to load System.Web.Extentions.
Can anybody offer some advice or pointers on why this might occur and/or what do do about it?

Thanks,

 - D

How was the module developed? Is there a DLL in the BIN folder for the module?

Did you compile the module against a different version of the System.web.extensions?

I developed the module in VB with VS2008 running a DNN build as a local site.
There are two copies of the System.Web.Extensions.DLL.
One is in the \bin and the other is in \bin\_vti_cnf.
I tried removing the module from the website directory tree on the remote site...
It did no good... I still received the same error.
Both sites were developed using System.Web.Extensions Version=3.5.0.0

Thanks,

I'm replying to my own thread, because I've figured out the issue.  In case somebody has this same problem in the future, maybe they can use this information.

Though the module was developed using System.Web.Extensions Version=3.5.0.0, and the test site was running mostly 3.5 Framework, the target framework for the production site was 2.0.  When I moved the module, which requested System.Web.Extensions Version=3.5.0.0 as a dependency, the target framework for the production site was moved up to 3.5.

I cut the System.Web.Extensions Version=3.5.0.0 inherit call from the module first.  Then I switched the target back to 2.0 for the production site.  Finally, in the property pages, I removed any references to assemblies at version 3.5.  Once these tasks were accomplished, I ran (without debugging) and it fired up just fine, with the module working to boot, as soon as I'd revised the Module Definition Control.

I feel like it's something I should have spotted right away, but... oh well.  Hopefully my mistake will help someone else in the future.
