Could not load file or assembly 'AjaxControlToolkit' or one of its dependencies. The parameter is incorrect. (Exception from HRESULT: 0x80070057 (E_INVALIDARG))

Today while working suddenly my laptop crashed and restarted again. Once laptop restarted, I opened the project in Visual Studio 2012 and tried to run my application, but I got weird Assembly Load Error: Could not load file or assembly...:

Full error read as:
Could not load file or assembly ‘AjaxControlToolkit’ or one of its dependencies. The parameter is incorrect. (Exception from HRESULT: 0×80070057 (E_INVALIDARG))

I tried to clean and rebuild my application, and even closed and re-open visual studio, but still I faced the same error. Even I removed the assembly reference of 'AjaxControlToolkit' and added reference back to my application, but still no luck.

After some research I found out that AjaxControlToolkit assembly corrupted in Temporary ASP.NET Files folder, due to which it is throwing error.

Solution: 
·         Close all instances of Visual Studio. 

·         Delete the Temporary ASP.NET Files, location of these files vary depends of OS you are using,
o   For Windows 7, folder is C:\Windows\Microsoft.NET\Framework\'version folder'\Temporary ASP.NET Files, where 'version folder' depends on ASP.Net version of your application, i.e. in my case folder name is 'v4.0.30319'
o   For Windows Vista, folder is C:\Users\'your user name'\AppData\Local\Temp\Temporary ASP.NET Files, where your user name' is the name of user you are currently logged-in with.
o   For Windows XP, folder is %WINDIR%\Microsoft.NET\Framework\'version folder'\Temporary ASP.NET Files, where 'version folder' depends on ASP.Net version of your application 

·         Once you deleted file, restart the Visual Studio, and you'll see that error is gone.

  1. It works for me. I could not believe that just deleting the file in that location solved the problem.

    Thank you,

Error 405 : ASP.NET Core Web API PUT and DELETE Methods not allowed

Recently, while working with .Net core API I came across the issue of “Error 405 — Methods not Allowed” After some research, I found out that both GET and POST requests working fine but neither PUT nor DELETE requests working. Another thing is that the PUT and DELETE request was also working fine on my local machine but failed when we host on our Azure server. When I explored the issue on the web it led me to the conclusion that WebDAVModule seems to set PUT and DELETE request methods disabled by default and due to that PUT and DELETE throw 405 errors. To make the PUT and DELETE requests work, we need to override the WebDAVModule setting in web.config file by adding the below settings under “ system.webServer ”. < system.webServer >   < modules runAllManagedModulesForAllRequests = " false " >     < remove name = " WebDAVModule " />   </ modules > </ system.webServer > There may be 2 web.config files in y...

C#: Merging Excel cells with NPOI HSSFWorkbook

In this post we’ll see how to merge the two or more cell with each other while creating the excel sheet using NPOI . Mentioned below is code to merge multiple cells, in this example we are merging first cell to fifth cell of first row (you can adjust row or cell range by passing particular parameters in CellRangeAddress). //Created new Workbook var hwb = new NPOI.HSSF.UserModel. HSSFWorkbook (); //Create worksheet with name. var sheet = hwb.CreateSheet( "new sheet" ); //Create row and cell. var row = sheet.CreateRow(0); var cell = row.CreateCell(0); ; //Set text inside cell cell.SetCellValue( "This is Merged cell" ); cell.CellStyle.WrapText = true ; //define cell range address // parameters: -> first row to last and first cell to last cell var cra = new NPOI.SS.Util. CellRangeAddress (0, 0, 0, 4); //Add merged region to sheet. sheet.AddMergedRegion(cra); Hope this solution helps you J

How to set Swagger as the default start page for API hosted on the Azure web app?

I created an Asp.Net Core 2.x Web API and configured Swagger on it, below is the code added in Configure method under Startup.cs file, for full swagger configuration, check here //Add swagger configuration app.UseSwagger(); app.UseSwaggerUI(c => {     c.SwaggerEndpoint( "../swagger/v1/swagger.json" , "Test API V1" ); }); On my local machine when I run the API it is automatically redirected to the Swagger page. However, when I hosted this API as an Azure web app it is not redirecting directly to the Swagger and to access the swagger, I had to append /swagger in the URL, for example, https://testapi.azurewebsites.net/swagger/ Solution: Set RoutePrefix to string.Empty under app.UseSwaggerUI like below: app.UseSwaggerUI(c => {     c.SwaggerEndpoint( "../swagger/v1/swagger.json" , "Test API V1" );      c.RoutePrefix = string .Empty; // Set Swagger UI at apps root }); And that’s it, now when you b...
