Could not load file or assembly 'K2Documentation.Samples.Extensions.SmartForms.CustomControl.ExampleControls' or one of its dependencies. The system cannot find the file specified.

Please try the following:


1. Open the solution in Visual Studio.


 


2. Open definition.xml for each of the below controls:


ExampleControls > HelloWorld


ExampleControls > Textbox


ExampleControls > WithStyles


 


3. Make the following change to remove ExampleControls at the end: 


E.g. 


From:<FullName>K2Documentation.Samples.Extensions.SmartForms.CustomControl.ExampleControls.HelloWorld.Control, K2Documentation.Samples.Extensions.SmartForms.CustomControl.ExampleControls</FullName>


 


To: 


<FullName>K2Documentation.Samples.Extensions.SmartForms.CustomControl.ExampleControls.HelloWorld.Control, K2Documentation.Samples.Extensions.SmartForms.CustomControl</FullName>


 


4. Deploy the solution in Visual Studio.


 


5. Open a command prompt window and run this command to register the control again:


 


controlutil.exe register -assembly: “file path to K2Documentation.Samples.Extensions.SmartForms.CustomControl.dll here”
