Could not load file or assembly 'AjaxMin, Version=4.97.4951.28478, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=21ef50ce11b5d80f' or one of its dependencies
Get this error when I try to view my project in browser on localhost.
Verified that AjaxControlToolkit is setup in references in my project.
AjaxControlToolkit.dll is in the directory listed in the reference.
I re-installed AjaxControlToolkit to make sure that was not the issue.
The project I am working on is a project emailed to me by a colleague and is not something I created from the ground up. Not sure if that is the problem and the project is looking at an old reference?
On a related note, I have another test project in a separate solution and I added an AjaxControlToolkit control to test that (CalendarExtender) and it worked just fine.
Posting my code:
