I am new to asp.net mvc 4.

I have done a simple application using RazorPDF.

Application is to display a normal page in PDF format. I have created a new application and it is running fine .But the same thing when i am implementing in my project it is not working and giving the error as Could not load type 'iTextSharp.text.html.HtmlParser' from assembly 'itextsharp, Version=5.5.3.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=8354ae6d2174ddca'.

I researched about this and found the concept that why it is displaying this error , as bcoz while installing the RazorPDF it is not installing the HtmlParser inside iTextSharp.

The point I am not getting is if I am doing the same thing in newly application it is installing everything and the code is working fine,if the same i am doing in my project it is not installing all the things through i ma getting this error.

Code is working fine ,no doubt in that.The problem is while installing the RazorPDF in my project it is not installing all the 9 subpackages inside the iTextSharp(HtmlEncoder,HtmlTags,HtmlUtilities,WebColors,HtmlParser,Markup,ITextmyHtmlHandler,HtmlWriter,HtmlTagMap) ,it is installing only 4 subpackages(HtmlEncoder,HtmlTags,HtmlUtilities,WebColors).

As HtmlParser have not installed it is displaying this problem ? Do anyone have knowledge in this (RazorPDF).Can any1 help me out to solve this problem ?
