I am running into some problems while trying to get DAAB from Enterprise library 5.0 running. I have followed the steps as per the tutorial, but am getting errors...
1) Download / install enterprise library
2) Add references to the blocks I need (common / data)
3) Imports
Imports Microsoft.Practices.EnterpriseLibrary.Common
Imports Microsoft.Practices.EnterpriseLibrary.Data
4) Through the enterprise library config software. I open up the web.config from my site. I then click Blocks, then Add data settings... fill in my details and save / close
5) I then (thinking setup is complete) try to get an instance of the database via
Dim db As Database = DatabaseFactory.CreateDatabase()
6) I compile and receive the following error:
Could not load file or assembly 'Microsoft.Practices.EnterpriseLibrary.Data, Version=5.0.414.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=31bf3856ad364e35' or one of its dependencies. The located assembly's manifest definition does not match the assembly reference. (Exception from HRESULT: 0x80131040) (C:\site\web.config line 4)
Line 4 off my web.config was generated by the config tool and is:
<section name="dataConfiguration" type="Microsoft.Practices.EnterpriseLibrary.Data.Configuration.DatabaseSettings, Microsoft.Practices.EnterpriseLibrary.Data, Version=5.0.414.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=31bf3856ad364e35" requirePermission="true" />
Am I missing a required step? Have I done the steps in the wrong order? Have I made a mistake?
Thanks a lot for the assistance.
The answer:
I had accidentaly referenced the assemblies from the src code folder. Which means the public tokens would have = null. I re-referenced to the assemblies in C:\Program Files\Microsoft Enterprise Library 5.0\Bin and the problem is now solved.
