How is windows not finding this assembly?

I keep getting this error in my windows logs:

 SharePointSocialNetworking.Facebook 
   b0ceb144-b183-4b66-aa10-39fd9ee42bd4 
   Could not load file or assembly 'Microsoft.Contracts, Version=1.0.0.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=736440c9b414ea16' or one of its dependencies. The system cannot find the file specified.

But the assembly it's talking about already shows in my GAC:

alt text

Am I missing something here? Everything in the GAC matches the error message. How could windows not find this?

Solution

  • Add a SafeControl entry to your web.config:

    <configuration>
...
  <SharePoint>
  ...
    <SafeControls>
      ...
      <SafeControl Assembly="Microsoft.Contracts, Version=1.0.0.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=736440c9b414ea16" Namespace="Microsoft.Contracts" TypeName="*" Safe="True" />
    </SafeControls>
  ...
  </SharePoint>
...
</configuration>
