无法加载文件或程序集：找到的程序集的清单定义与程序集引用不匹配

Question

I have a Dev Express web application working fine in localhost but not on the live site.

I have logged the issue with Dev Express but am also logging it here because it may be a .net issue.

I have checked the references carefully in the project and cant find any out of date references.

The error log shows

I looked at this question about winforms but my problem is in webforms. I do see that some of the answers involved Dev Express. I Checked my licence file and it does not include old versions.

Answer 1

Looks like you missed updating an assembly reference in one of your modules.

Easiest fix is to run the DevExpress ProjectConverter (default location C:\\Program Files (x86)\\DevExpress 15.2\\Components\\Tools\\Components ). It will fix the references in all files (and subfolders).

If you have any more trouble, the DevExpress Support Center is the place to ask.
