I've moved some common code into a class library for my SharePoint Feature.
I added it to the feature dependencies, I fooled with the package to make sure that the DLL is deployed correctly. I marked everything as 'WebApplication' deployment.

Everything compiles correctly, but when I go to deploy it...

Error occurred in deployment step 'Activate Features': Could not load file or assembly 'SPSureCommon, Version=1.0.0.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=6422b3acc455bdc9' or one of its dependencies. The system cannot find the file specified.

Can any one tell me how to troubleshoot this? I mean, IF it actually deployed and crashed at runtime I could at least feature out what DLL is missing.

First, check the GAC (C:\windows\assembly), is your dll there?

If it is, check that the token/version is the same as the one your a referencing in code.

Also, you might be deploying to a different web application, do a full IIS reset

If the DDL isn't in the GAC, then there is something wrong with your package.

Check the pkg/pkgobj directories to see if the dll is there, also open up the wsp (rename to cab) and check it is inside.

Try activating though central admin

  • I was trying to be a good citizen and keep everything in the web application folder. That said, I was able to get it to work if I put this single library in the GAC.

Double click your Package folder and Add the assembly from a the appropriate option (file or project output)

Once you have that referenced you should be able to deploy no problem.

Set deployment target to GAC and see if it works. Might be another issue somewhere else.
