    Hi,

    I apologize in advance but this will be a long post. We had our project in DNN 9.1.1 and migrated to 9.2.2 and now my DNNGo xBlog project is giving me errors. The DNNGo xBlog project is compiled in Dotnet Framework 3.5. When I opened the project, I see following errors :

    Error    387    The type or namespace name 'Entities' does not exist in the namespace 'DotNetNuke' (are you missing an assembly reference?)    somepath\DNNGo_xBlog_07.00.02_Source\DNNGo_xBlog\Settings_Empty.ascx.cs    2    18    DNNGo.xBlog

    It has a blue underline and intellicense does give me suggestions. I checked it online and it maybe due to version difference . The runtime version of Dotnetnuke DLL is v4.0.30319

    So I changed the target framework to 4.0 and the DNNgo xBlog did build successfully. But when I test the page, I see nothing and the following error in Admin Logs :

    This is a vague error. I am not sure how to proceed from here. Your thoughts will be very helpful. Please let me know if I am not clear. Thanks for your time in advance

      "The runtime version of Dotnetnuke DLL is v4.0.30319"

      Is this the file that is in your site's bin directory? If so it is clearly wrong. If this is the file referenced in your build, then you need to change it to the correct one.

      The DNN version is not related at all to the .NET framework. You need to set the .NET framework to the correct one. Check the release notes for your version of DNN to see which framework you need to use. That should be used both forthe App Pool and build reference.

        Hi Joe,

        Thanks for your respone. So when I got the source code in a zip file, I unzipped it and opened it using visual studio 2013. The DontNetNuke.dll had an exclamation mark besides it and the path and Runtime version properties didn't have any value. So I deleted those references and added the new Dotnetnuke.dll . How can i get the correct version for Dotnetnuke.dll ? Is there any way I can change the Runtime version ?  

        Thanks you

          When you added "the new Dotnetnuke.dll" exactly what did you do.

          You need to get a copy of the correct file -- best way is from an upgrade or install package for that version of DNN -- and create a new reference, browsing to the correct version.

          You will also need to edit the Properties of your project and make sure that it targets the correct version of the .NET framework.
