assembly versioning problem with AxSHDocVw
I'm a new user of the UltimateMenu control. After installing MenuBuilder and PanelBuilder, I added the UltimateMenu control to a toolbox and dragged it onto an ASP.NET form. When I right-click the control instance in the page and choose 'Karamasoft MenuBuilder...' I get the following error message:

'The located assembly's manifest definition with name 'AxSHDocVw' does not match the assembly reference.'

Using Reflector I see that the reference to AxSHDocVw.dll is the same as the actual AxSHDocVw.dll that is in my web application's bin directory. Here is the Reflector output for that reference inside of UltimateMenu.dll :

// Assembly Reference AxSHDocVw
Version: 1.1.0.0
Name: AxSHDocVw, Version=1.1.0.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=3be49ef17ee06964

And here is the Reflector output for the AxSHDocVw.dll itself:

// Assembly AxSHDocVw, Version 1.1.0.0 [assembly: bject:1">AssemblyVersion("1.1.0.0")] [assembly: bject:2">TypeLibraryTimeStamp("1/21/2004 4:15:50 PM")] [assembly: bject:3">AssemblyKeyFile("UltimateMenu.snk")]
Location: C:\Inetpub\wwwroot\WebApplication2\bin\AxSHDocVw.dll
Name: AxSHDocVw, Version=1.1.0.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=3be49ef17ee06964

As you can see, they are the same! I do have other copies of AxSHDocVw.dll in other places on my hard drive and they are different versions that this one, but none of them are actually in the system PATH. Besides, the .NET Framework assembly probe should find the one in the same directory as UltimateMenu.dll.

Any ideas?

Thanks,
 Bob

Re: assembly versioning problem with AxSHDocVw
Do you experience the same problem with both controls or only UltimateMenu? Do you by any chance have UltimateMenu or AxSHDocVw in GAC (Global Assembly Cache)?

Re: assembly versioning problem with AxSHDocVw
Yes, I forgot to look in the GAC! AxSHDocVw.dll (a different version) is in the GAC.
And yes, I see the problem with both the UltimateMenu and the UltimatePanel controls.

I don't know who put AxSHDocVw in the GAC but I'm guessing it was the .NET Framework 1.1 install. How can I get around this?

Thanks,
Bob

Re: assembly versioning problem with AxSHDocVw
.NET Framework doesn't put it into GAC. There must be something else to blame. Just delete it from GAC, and it should work fine.

Re: assembly versioning problem with AxSHDocVw
I cannot remove it. Trying to uninstall, gacutil reported that it is required by one or more assemblies. Then it indicates:

SCHEME: <WINDOWS_INSTALLER>   ID: <MSI>  DESCRIPTION: <Windows Installer>

Re: assembly versioning problem with AxSHDocVw
So you are opening Windows Explorer, going into C:\WINNT\assembly directory, clicking on AxSHDocVw, pressing the Delete botton and getting this message. Is this correct? You shouldn't be uninstalling anything, but just removing AxSHDocVw from GAC.

Re: assembly versioning problem with AxSHDocVw
I was trying to remove it using gacutil. But now I've been able to delete it from a command prompt window, browsing to the files and removing the AxSHDocVw subdirectory (below \windows\assembly\GAC) and all of its contents.

The problem did not go away! I rebooted the machine and the problem is still there! I verified that gacutil does not show AxSHDocVw as being in the cache. I also verified the public keys for the reference in UltimateGrid.dll and for the AxSHDocVw.dll, both of which are in \inetpub\wwwroot\WebApplication2\bin.

AARrrrrgggg!!!

Any ideas?

Re: assembly versioning problem with AxSHDocVw
Ok, one of my buddies at work figured out that the problem was that both AxSHDocVw.DLL and SHDocVw.DLL were being used by CodeRush, another developer tool that we use. I also discovered that CodeSmith, yet another dev tool, also uses these dlls. Unfortunately different versions of the assemblies are used by each vendor and just one of the vendors added their versions of the dlls to the GAC.

To fix the problem, I just added the Karamasoft versions of these two dlls to the GAC. The GAC handles all side-by-side versioning so everything works fine.
