    How to resolve this FileNotFoundException?!

    I'm getting this message.

    System.IO.FileN otFoundExceptio n was unhandled
    Message: It's not possible to load the file or
    assembly SomeName, Version=1.0.0.0 ,
    Culture=neutral , PublicKeyToken= null or one of
    its dependencies. The file can not be found.

    When i run the file from where it's compiled
    to, it works. If i run the file from elsewhere,
    i end up getting this error.

    The above and the fact that i don't refer to
    SomeName from the source code, makes me guess
    that it's because i'm using it as a reference.

    Now, how can i resolve this problem?

    I'm a logic and class structure designer so
    the actual deployment is sometimes awkwardly
    incomprehensabl e to me. Please be gentle... :)

      Re: How to resolve this FileNotFoundExc eption?!


      Most times I get something like that...it means I'm referencing a file
      MySuperCoolAsse mbly.dll

      but, somewhere along the chain, there are 2 versions of
      MySuperCoolAsse mbly.dll

      and during project build, one project is overwriting the other.

      To try and resolve it:

      Put MySuperCoolAsse mbly.dll somewhere (new)
      c:\newfolder\My SuperCoolAssemb ly.dll

      Go through your projects.

      I would go through my solution, find all refs to MySuperCoolAsse mbly.dll,
      and then remove the ref, and then add it back in from
      c:\newfolder\My SuperCoolAssemb ly.dll

      Rebuild, try again.

      If it works, then you work your way back out of it,....
      remove the reference to
      c:\newfolder\My SuperCoolAssemb ly.dll
      and then rereference from its orginal location.
      Eventually, one will break.

      If you rebuild and it still craps...then you have some more dectective work
      to find where the (different version) of MySuperCoolAsse mbly.dll is coming
      from.

      I think that's is what is happening.

              If the dll in question is not a common dll
              you need to place the dll with your Applicaion folder or sub folders

              If this is a common dll , whereas lots of other applications
              require it, check out placing it in the Gac

                  I'm not sure. Where in reference should it be?
                  The folder with my references only shows the
                  packages/files i've chosen to use...

                      Select the Assembly in the references folder in the project and then open the
                      properties window. There is a property called CopyLocal which should be true.
                      VS will then automatically put a copy of the dll in the project bin folder.

                          folder.
                          Oh, now i see. It does so already. The problem is that i then
                          move the files by hand to another directory. That's the
                          problem. I assumed that the compiler automagically baked
                          in all the DLL's and EXE's needed into one and the same
                          file that i could then run from anywhere. Stupid me...

                          Thousand thanks to everybody.
