I was working on getting a breakpoint up and running in a test module and somehow broke my site. Not sure if this is the correct category to ask this in? 

When I was testing my site when I ran the site in debug mode I received this error and now can't get my site load. Are there methods I can try to get my site back up and running or recover from this error?  

Server Error in '/' Application.

Method not found: 'Void DotNetNuke.Common.Globals.set_DependencyProvider(System.IServiceProvider)'.

If there's a method missing exception, something in your site was built against a newer version of an assembly than what's in the bin folder. Maybe your test module included some DNN DLLs in the bin folder that were an older version?

Did the module you were working on have a dnn file with it?

Maybe check the it for : 
        09.07.02 or what ever version you are running
     

 

Chris's module template are set to use : dnn version 9.8 - it messed me up when I started using his templates.  There are several other old problems from way back also - I just happened to remember them.

This could be the case. I develop my modules outside the DNN DesktopModules folder. So I always place a bin folder next to my modules folder and add references when missing to this bin folder. For example  C:\repos\modules\Webforms\moduleSolutionFolder
I would have a bin file C:\repos\modules\Webforms\bin 

If I have a missing reference I'll drop a .dll into this bin folder. So I could have somehow picked up an older DNN dll file.

See above for where my bin folder is and I drop a .dll in when needing a reference, or one is missing when working with a solution file. 

I'm showing in the module 


        09.08.00

I have DNN 9.8.1 installed right now. 

Is there a way to get the site back up from an error like this? Or, do I have to scrap my local dnn install and start with a new install? Then hunt down my old DLL file that is causing this issue in my modules bin folder mentioned above? 

Thanks!

If you know what version of DNN it should have been, copy the assemblies from the install package for that version into your bin and see if that resolves it. Then mark any DNN assemblies you're referencing as Copy Local=False so it doesn't happen again

I'm going to try and copy of the current install dlls. I'm sure I tried using the current ones, but I guess I missed one. 

 

Then mark any DNN assemblies you're referencing as Copy Local=False so it doesn't happen again.

How do I go about doing this, to mark Local=False? 

Thanks!

In Visual Studio, open References in the project explorer, highlight the references, then go to the Properties pane (F4 is the default shortcut), find Copy Local and select False from the dropdown. Somewhat unintuitively, this will add <code><Private>False</Private></code> to reference specification in the project file.

Trying the above out. I'm also copying the DotNetNuke.dll from my site bin to my modules bin. Comparing the two they seem to be the same version. But, just trying to cover all possibilities. 

Thanks!
