Hi, I tried creating a custom timer job. I was able to successfully install it, but when i tried to activate i get this error. Pls help. ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Feature 'b82f3a7a-265c-4c8e-9d2c-c8d608839381' could not be installed because the loading of event receiver assembly "MyTimer.SharePointWarmupJob, Version=1.0.0.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=b76170ec13688df8" failed: System.IO.FileNotFoundException: Could not load file or assembly 'MyTimer.SharePointWarmupJob, Version=1.0.0.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=b76170ec13688df8' or one of its dependencies.

To enable assembly bind failure logging, set the registry value [HKLM\Software\Microsoft\Fusion!EnableLog] (DWORD) to 1.

To turn this feature off, remove the registry value [HKLM\Software\Microsoft\Fusion!EnableLog]. -----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Hi Nagarajan, Thanks for posting here. Debug your code and know where error is throwing first.Thanks & Regards, Neerubee

Neerubee, I have commented all major lines of code and tried to activate. I still get this error. I feel some references or some configuration is missing. Can someone share your piece of code ?

Hi, According to your description, I have found an issue with “Could not load file or assembly “ , please have a try to resolve the issue by following steps: 1. Click the reference in Visual Studio Solution Explore. 2. In the properties windows at the button, change Copy Local to True. 3. Deployed the solution. Now, adding the two assemblies to the GAC earlier may have contributed to the resolution as well. Best Regards David Hu
