I have a web application that I am attempting to upgrade to .net 4.0.
I took the application and opened it via Visual Studio 2010 Beta 2 and selected the upgrade path for that application. The application uses the AjaxControlToolkit. Now that the upgrade is complete when I attempt to access a page I get the error message: “Could not load file or assembly ‘AjaxControlToolkit’ or one of its dependencies. Access is denied.”
I’ve tried:
- Restarting my machine
- Clean Solution
- Removing all files in Temporary ASP.Net Files
- Relaxing permsissions (added Everyone with Full Control) on the Bin directory, the Temporary ASP.Net Files directory
- Removing and readding the reference to the AjaxControlToolkit DLL
The related web.config entries for the AjackControlToolkit are:
<pages controlRenderingCompatibilityVersion="3.5" clientIDMode="AutoID">
<controls>
<add tagPrefix="ajaxToolkit" namespace="AjaxControlToolkit" assembly="AjaxControlToolkit"/>
</controls>
</pages>
Any ideas as to what is occuring here/how I can fix this issue?
Not 100% sure why this worked, but in the appropriate Temporary ASP.Net Files directory (located at: C:\Windows\Microsoft.NET\Framework64\v4.0.21006\Temporary ASP.NET Files[projectName]) I manually coppied the AjaxControlToolkit.dll.
I was then presented with additional DLLs that were missing, but upon manually copying them to this location also I was able to resolve these issues. Doesn’t seem like the best answer, but it ended up working for me.
