Could not load file or assembly 'DevExpress.Data.v11.2.resources' or one of its dependencies. The system cannot find the file specified.

created 13 years ago

Performed Upgrade to latest version of product. Used the ProjectConverter tool to upgrade the projects. After doing so received "Could not load file or assembly" error on DevExpress.Data.v11.2.resources.
References look correct. Web.config looks correct. All references set to "copy local".

    Hello Steve:
    Thank you for your response.
    Would you please provide a complete web.config file?
    The trick is that by design ASP.NET searches for an assembly DLL first in the private Bin directory of an application. If this assembly is not found there, ASP.NET starts searching in the GAC of the server. Unless I am mistaken, there are no DevExpress assemblies in the GAC, that is why you get this error.
    If assemblies are placed in a subdirectory under the .bin directory, the name of this subdirectory should be specified in the privatePath attribute of the <probing> element in the web.config file:
    http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/823z9h8w.aspx
    Thanks
    Kate.

      Personally I believe this is a bug with the Project Upgrade process. New DLL's were introduced under language folders it appears. This folder with resource dll's didnot exist in the previous version. I manually added references in the project to those resource DLL's and now the project compiles and runs just fine. All these DLL's had the ".resources" in the naming convention and were associated with the DLL's I already had references to in the existing project.
      Regards.

        Hello Steve:
        Please pardon my unclear answer.
        Starting from DXperience v2011 vol 2 DevExpress ASP.NET controls may be localized with satellite resource assemblies. We install localized satellite assemblies for a few languages along with our components. The installer also registers satellite assemblies in the GAC.
        When the CopyLocal property for DevExpress assembly reference is set to True, Visual Studio copies corresponding satellite assemblies into the project output folder.
        See the following article for more detailed information:
        Localization Overview
        So, the solution is to redeploy the upgraded project with new resource libraries.
        Thanks
        Kate.
