Could not load assembly Telerik.OpenAccess

[Ohsha]

Hi, 

I was trying the Telerik OpenAccess, but bumped into the following error:

Parser Error Message: Could not load file or assembly 'Telerik.OpenAccess, Version=2011.2.1113.5, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=7ce17eeaf1d59342' or one of its dependencies. The located assembly's manifest definition does not match the assembly reference. (Exception from HRESULT: 0x80131040)

Source File: D:\Path\to\SofiaCarRentalMvc\SofiaCarRental\web.config    Line: 24

 How can I fix it?

I can see that the Telerik.OpenAccess assembly  I have from the SDK is of version 2012.1.301.2, but how can I know its PublicKeyToken?

Thanks

Hello Ohsha,

It seems that you have installed different versions of OpenAccess ORM and OpenAccess SDK. Normally this should not be a problem because the SDK is shipped with the full set of assemblies needed to run the samples. Perhaps you have updated the references and now some of them point to the installed version of OpenAccess and other point to the ones shipped with the SDK.

To fix the error, please try the following:
1. Open the %LocalAppData%\Telerik.OpenAccess.SDK\Dependencies folder, which is the folder containing all SDK dependencies. Then change all assembly references in your project to point to the assemblies in this folder.
2. If this does not help, open the SDK Browser, click Reset, then Open in Visual Studio for the selected sample. This would make a fresh copy of the sample in the %LocalAppData%\Telerik.OpenAccess.SDK folder, which should be working without any interventions from your side.
3. If the refreshed sample still does not work, please let us know, this could be a problem in the SDK which we should investigate.

Thanks Alexander, 

The versions of OpenAccess ORM and OpenAccess SDK that I installed are:

Telerik_OpenAccess_ORM_Free_Edition_2012_1_301.msi
Telerik_OpenAccess_ORM_2012_1_301_SDK.msi

I think the problem might be because I'm opening up an (old) example project that uses different versions of OpenAccess. 

Will try your suggestion and post back. 
thanks

Hmm...

1. I don't have the %LocalAppData%\Telerik.OpenAccess.SDK folder. 
and I can't find the Dependencies folder under <Program-Files>\Telerik\OpenAccess ORM\ either. 
2. "open the SDK Browser, click Reset " Please elaborate more. I tried many guesses, but still clueless what I should do. 

thanks

Hello Ohsha,

 Is the project you are experiencing this error from based on the SDK or is it something that you have just implemented? Usually mismatch like this can be easily resolved by refreshing the assembly references. Try the upgrade references functionality.

As to the SDK, as soon as you navigate to the Samples select one and try to either open it or run it directly the directories that you are missing will get populated. Basically we copy the source code and dependencies to the first folder. You can that rollback to the installed state by selecting Reset (note that this is per example). 

Also have a look at this article that could help you in setting your project up. 

Hope this helps.

Yep, refreshing the assembly references solve the problem. 
Thanks

I have the same problem but refreshing the references does not fix my problem. I have no references to OpenAccess in my project i have searched every line of text for OpenAccess and came up with nothing. I have even rebuilt my entire project from scratch. As soon as a ="Telerik.Web.UI" is utilized I get the error below. This error disappears after i refresh the screen once.

This problem only exists on the server I publish to. Does having old libraries in the Assembly Cache cause things like this?

Hi Justin,


It seems that the old version of OpenAccess ORM is being resolved from the GAC. Could you please verify that this the case and the old assemblies are being used.

Actually you could try using binding redirect for the Telerik.OpenAccess assembly in order to avoid the issue.

Hope that helps.

Kind regards,
