ASCII which known as American Standard Code for Information Interchange is a character encoding based on the English alphabet. ASCII codes represent text in computers, communications equipment, and other devices that work with text… ASCII has been incorporated into the Unicode character set as the first 128 symbols.

Unicode is an industry standard allowing computers to consistently represent and manipulate text expressed in most of the world’s writing systems. Unicode’s success at unifying character sets has led to its widespread and predominant use in the internationalization and localization of computer software. The standard has been implemented in many recent technologies, including XML, the Java programming language, the Microsoft .NET Framework and modern operating systems.

System.Configuration.ConfigurationErrorsException: Could not load file or assembly ‘Microsoft.ReportViewer.WebForms, Version=8.0.0.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=b03f5f7f11d50a3a’ or one of its dependencies. The system cannot find the file specified.

Do you ever see this problem when you try to load ASP.NET web application? Well, based on the error code. It should have something related to ReportViewer. It seem like the ReportViewer component is not found.

I don’t have the problem during development at my development server. However, I faced this problem when I deploy to another machine. Why is this happening?

Here is the solution…

• Get the required files from your development server - C:\Program Files\Microsoft Visual Studio 8\ReportViewer (default path for Visual Studio 2005).
• Copy Microsoft.ReportViewer.Common.dll, Microsoft.ReportViewer.WebForms.dll, Microsoft.ReportViewer.WebForms.xml, Microsoft.ReportViewer.WinForms.dll and Microsoft.ReportViewer.WinForms.xml.
• Paste it at your web application bin folder.

This should do the trick.

Do you get Parser Error Message: Unrecognized attribute ‘xmlns’ when you try to deploy web application? Line 2: <configuration xmlns=”http://schemas.microsoft.com/.NetConfiguration/v2.0″></configuration> is red in colour.

Well, it happens all the time when I deploy ASP.NET 2.0 web application on a server with both ASP.NET 1.1 and 2.0 installed. What you need to do? By selecting the correct ASP.NET version at Internet Information Services (IIS) will solve the problem.

• Right click on your web project and select properties.
• Select ASP.NET tab.
• Choose the correct ASP.NET version - 2.0 for this case.
• That’s all.
