Could not locate a suitable binder for a UltraLabel

< ="-" ="text/; =utf-8">< name="ProgId" ="Word.">< name="Generator" ="Microsoft Word 14">< name="Originator" ="Microsoft Word 14"> Hi

We upgraded our DevForce installation on our dev machines (5.2.1 to 5.2.6) and since then, when we
deploy on our integration server, we have a run-time error (see attachment)

We use DevForce 5.2.6 with Infragistics controls 9.1

We verified that all our reference are set to SecificVersion = False.
We checked the .csproj file and updated manually the reference version (as described
in the DevForce Installation Documentation)

But every time we open a form with a ControlBindingManager, we have the same error about
the application being not able to find a suitable binder for UltraLabel.

No we're using a 32bit OS and we're using a local app.config

I'll check your link for the binding failure log

Thanks

Hi David

We're using Infragistics 9.1.20091.2094

Here's the result of the Assembly Binding Redirector :

The operation was successful.

Hi David

I ran the Fusion Logger on our integration server another time and I found some new errors.
uploads/850/Fusion_Log_Errors.zip

Notice that they all found the application configuration file correctly this time.

Most of them are related to the resources assembly and I don't quite understand why.

The one that stand out the most is Infragistics2.Win.v9.1, Version=9.1.20091.1000 because it's the old version of the Infragistic control. Why is IdeaBlade.UI.WinForms.InfragisticsControls.v9_1.dll depending on the old version.

In our setup project, I checked the dependencies and found out that they all depend on the old .1000 version (compared to the new .2094 version)



I tried removing the IdeaBlade.UI.WinForms.InfragisticsControls.v9_1.dll from our setup project as it doesn't seem to be needed at all but when I run the application on the integration server I have another error

Any of this new info makes sense to you?

Good news!

I fixed my problem.

After a checked for the 10th time that all my dlls were set with SpecificVersion=False, I decided to install DevForce 5.2.7 to be sure taht all DevForce assemblies were not expecting specific version.

As expected, after the install, I rebuilded my solution and no assembly problem were detected (all referenced assembly were not expecting a specific version)

But during the install, the DevForce installer warned me about "unsupported" Infragistics version and asked me to add assemblyBinding instruction in my machine.config.

So I copied these lines in my application configuration file and after I deployed my app on my integration server, no more error!

Thanks David for you help
