I am getting this error while tryng to edit my site across the Interent using VS.

Error reads: Unable to Initialize external designer module, please check the installation and verify that EO.Web.dll in your bin folder is the same as the intalled one.

EO.dll is located in this directory, any sugestions?

Please reply: Not sure what this means compare the file installed on the web server to the one I have installed on my local machine? Where is this file on my local machine?
This is working on the computer I developed this on but not a remote machine I want to edit with.

Hi,

When you install our product, you would have a bunch of files installed to "c:\Program Files\Essential Objects\EO.Web Controls XXXX\NetXX" folder. Locate EO.Web.dll in that folder. You will see a number of them. Pick any one of them and right click on it, check the DLL's version number. Write down the first three numbers, ignore the last number. For example, for the lastest version, you will see 7.0.36.1 or 7.0.36.2.

Now right click the same DLL in your project's bin folder. Verify whether the first three digits of the version number of the DLL is the same as the one in your c:\Program Files\Essential Objects\EO.Web Controls XXXX" folder.

If they are not the same, then you will need to update the project reference to use the same DLL as on your machine.

This can also be a permission issue (because remote project receives less permission than local project). In that case you will need to add EO.Web.dll into GAC and update your project to reference the DLL from GAC.

Thanks
Andrew
