New Toolkit for Beta 2 On Codeplex - Issue: No Microsoft.Web.Extensions.Design

Parser Error Message: Could not load file or assembly 'Microsoft.Web.Extensions.Design, Version=1.0.61025.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=31bf3856ad364e35' or one of its dependencies. The system cannot find the file specified.

In the new rlease (its on the release page) - There is no Microsoft.Web.Extensions.Design.dll - this comes from the toolkit sample site.. I copied all the preview stuff etc et al....to the appropiate

Is this because there is a new core ajax release that is corresponding on this and I am just to download trigger happy?

Release 61106 Production

Re: New Toolkit for Beta 2 On Codeplex - Issue: No Microsoft.Web.Extensions.Design

Hi!

I hope I can offer some insight with the the experiences I have had.

I downloaded Ajax Beta 2 and installed it onto my Vista RC2 machine at home. Then downloaded the new Control Toolkit and everything was working great.

So I installed Beta 2 onto my web server (Windows Server 2003), uploaded the new Toolkit dll and revised web.config and discovered exactly the same problem as you guys are mentioning.

So I had a look at the contents of the folder at C:\Program Files\Microsoft ASP.NET\ASP.NET 2.0 AJAX Extensions\v1.0.61025 on my local machine and did indeed find the file "Microsoft.Web.Extensions.Design.dll"

Then I took a look at the same folder on my server and the file was missing (as was the entry in ther GAC).

So I uninstalled AJAX Beta 2 from both machines and tried again..

And again "Microsoft.Web.Extensions.Design.dll" was installed OK on my local machine but not on my server.

So I did it again just to make sure with the same result.

Result:

"Microsoft.Web.Extensions.Design.dll" is part of the Ajax Beta 2 installation package but will not install on some machines.

So I've gone back to Beta 1

Hi, Same issue on XP! After two hours trying to get my projects converted I'm dropping back a version too.

Re: New Toolkit for Beta 2 On Codeplex - Issue: No Microsoft.Web.Extensions.Design

hi there.. i try with the sample web site on my pc without doing anything else (just open the solution and push play) same problem here....

Re: New Toolkit for Beta 2 On Codeplex - Issue: No Microsoft.Web.Extensions.Design

Hi guys - yeah the problem you're having is because you installed on a machine w/o VS. All of our machines have VS, so we didn't catch this problem. On a machine w/ VS, Microsoft.Web.Extensions.Design.dll gets dropped.

Probably the best workaround for this is to go get that file from a machine with VS and either install it (gacutil -f Microsoft.Web.Extensions.Design.dll) or try dropping it into the bin directory, which I believe should also work but I haven't tried it.

I've been talking with the AJAX team about this, so we're on top of it. Sorry for the confusion.

Re: New Toolkit for Beta 2 On Codeplex - Issue: No Microsoft.Web.Extensions.Design

hi there.. maybe a stupid question.. but by VS you mean???

and I have the only installation here.. is there any other way to get that file???

Re: New Toolkit for Beta 2 On Codeplex - Issue: No Microsoft.Web.Extensions.Design

Well All my systems have VS Team Studio on it.... as well as VS .(Visual Studio)..the issue is that there is a new dll... part of the ajax Beta 2 ..

Its located in: \Program Files\Microsoft ASP.NET\ASP.NET 2.0 AJAX Extensions\v1.0.61025

Drag and drop it into your bin as it does not get GACed...the core does but apparently not the design dll...

Hope that solves the issue for others reading this and thanks for the feedback Sburke...

Also note:

Problem: New Beta 2 as did Beta MSI detects the other version and states - "Goto Control Panel - Add Remove Programs - and remove previous version". Guess what? There is no entry in the Add and Remove programs listing beyond the CTP. Better have saved the previous bits - as you have to re-run the installer for Beta 1 to have the option to uninstall. However, this may be a quirk because I use Team Studio? I doubt that one...

Those will be the two biggest issues as far as installing and getting around things to get to the breaking changes for the all around Beta 2 bits for the core, ctp and toolkit

Re: New Toolkit for Beta 2 On Codeplex - Issue: No Microsoft.Web.Extensions.Design

ok.. my fault.. I didn't have the beta 2 installed...

I install it.. have the same problem...

I try to install it using: gacutil -f Microsoft.Web.Extensions.Design.dll (better use the /i option [;)]) but still not working.. but different error...

"No se puede cargar el tipo 'Microsoft.Web.UI.Design.ExtenderControlDesigner' del ensamblado'Microsoft.Web.Extensions, Version=1.0.61025.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=31bf3856ad364e35'. "

(translation) cannot find 'Microsoft.Web.UI.Design.ExtenderControlDesigner' from 'Microsoft.Web.Extensions, Version=1.0.61025.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=31bf3856ad364e35'

any idea?? adding them to the bin directory didn't work either...

Re: New Toolkit for Beta 2 On Codeplex - Issue: No Microsoft.Web.Extensions.Design

wow what a pain in the butt... i upgraded and it broke everything, after trying to fix it for a couple of hours I just reverted back to beta 1.

I think i'll wait awhile longer before upgrading again.... like when i have 8-10 hours to figure out what the hell broke and how to fix it.

Re: New Toolkit for Beta 2 On Codeplex - Issue: No Microsoft.Web.Extensions.Design

hi there.. how do you revert to beta 1?? everything to beta 1?? since I cannot make it work again anything now... [:S]

Re: New Toolkit for Beta 2 On Codeplex - Issue: No Microsoft.Web.Extensions.Design

I still had the old beta 1 install so i uninstalled beta 2, reinstalled beta 1, then removed the beta 2 toolkit dll from my project and re-inserted the beta 1 toolkit dll (i had it saved also). After that I just re-built the project and it works again.

Re: New Toolkit for Beta 2 On Codeplex - Issue: No Microsoft.Web.Extensions.Design

ok thanks I have all the old installer too..

Re: New Toolkit for Beta 2 On Codeplex - Issue: No Microsoft.Web.Extensions.Design

I dropped the dll from my VS machine into the bin directory of the website living on my server (2003) and it worked!

This is hopefully an interim solution.

Thanks for the advice![:)]

Re: New Toolkit for Beta 2 On Codeplex - Issue: No Microsoft.Web.Extensions.Design

The problem is definitely not a result of VS not being installed, but I wonder if it's to do with the location of the Visual Studio 2005 folder?! I uninstalled the Extensions, and then reinstalled and them and Microsoft.Web.Extensions.Design.dll appeared!

Re: New Toolkit for Beta 2 On Codeplex - Issue: No Microsoft.Web.Extensions.Design

same problem

Could not load type 'Microsoft.Web.UI.Design.ExtenderControlDesigner' from assembly 'Microsoft.Web.Extensions, Version=1.0.61025.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=31bf3856ad364e35'.

installed using gacutil

copied files onto bin directory

have VS installed

Stuck - back to beta 1 I guess

Re: New Toolkit for Beta 2 On Codeplex - Issue: No Microsoft.Web.Extensions.Design

Its been reported that some actually do an install - then uninstall - then new re-install of the BETA2 bits (no idea why just they have stated it works)..it will add the references to VS the second time...

Others have stated doing a reboot solved the issue....

Additionally - make sure you MODIFY the WEB.CONFIG - as there are new changes such as registering the new SCM - the new Extensions designer - etc... see the toolkit example website for a full working config and make appropiate changes..

Re: New Toolkit for Beta 2 On Codeplex - Issue: No Microsoft.Web.Extensions.Design

I've tried to role back to Beta 1 but I'm still having issues, can someone tell me the version number for the beta and the control toolkit? I have 1.0.61025 for the beta and 1.0.61020 for the control toolkit but my project gets this error....

Re: New Toolkit for Beta 2 On Codeplex - Issue: No Microsoft.Web.Extensions.Design

Ok, this has been more frustrating than trying to get hair to grow back on top of my head - and seriously I can't afford to lose any more of it...

SO, yes - I marked the issue resolved as it seemed to work for most people - however - on my system(s) I found I had to do the following just to get the toolkit to build:

Remove project references to the Microsoft.Web.Extensions*

Do so by right clicking the projects references tab in the solution explorer pane.

Expand it

delete the current references for Microsoft.Web.Extensions (should only be one).

right click and choose Add Reference

click the .Net tab - scroll about 3/4 way down

ADD all three entries for :

Microsoft.Web.Extensions , Microsoft.Web.Extensions.Design, and Microsoft.Web.Preview

you should do this by NOT doing the browse for file - it will be in the .Net tab. Yes, you can still do the copy the dlls - but the references should be done in manner above - it will first search global assembly cache and then local bin if not found.

Recompile the project...

There is a bug at least with Team Studio that it will ref older dlls even if you have removed them using the uninstaller. You'll know this is your case if you try to compile and when the page is loaded you get a Sys error and nothing actually works (in IE at least - in FF2 - nothing works in terms of the UI but no errors ...So, that means in your own projects assuming you did all the right things for the web.config - you'll need to perform that process for EVERY project that uses the ajax components (core, ctp and toolkit)...

Last but not least - missing in the web.config is:

Without nothing works...in terms of the ajax scenario....

Additionally - turn off the debug and trace -in web.config - even in the release version of the toolkit - its enabled and will cause issues with some of the controls...(see my previous posts on issues with trace etc..)
