[Mono-dev] Porting an MVC2 project to MVC3 under mod_mono 2.10.1

[Frank Cohen]

I am trying to port an existing MVC2 application to MVC3.  It ran fine
under MVC2, but I can't get the app to run under MVC3.  I did get a bare
bones MVC3 app to run without issue.  I've provided some information about
the problem below. Does have an idea what the problem might be or at the
very least, how to glean more information about the error?


I am getting the following error:

Unhandled Exception: System.IO.FileLoadException: The assembly name is invalid.
  at System.Reflection.AssemblyName..ctor (System.String assemblyName)
[0x00045] in /root/mono-2.10.1/mcs/class/corlib/System.Reflection/AssemblyName.cs:93

  at Mono.CSharp.Driver.Main (System.String[] args) [0x0003d] in
/root/mono-2.10.1/mcs/mcs/driver.cs:243



Everything is the same as my MVC2 configuration, with the exception that I
have removed the MVC2 related DLLs and replaced with the MVC3 DLLs from my
project. Here is a complete list of everything that is in my bin folder,
save for the application DLLs:

Compiled for .NET v2.0.50727:

AutoMapper.dll 1.1.0.188
Castle.Core.dll 2.5.0.0
DotNetOpenAuth.dll 3.2.3.12162
log4net.dll 1.2.10.0
Microsoft.Contracts.dll 1.0.0.0
mysql.data.dll 6.4.3.0
mysql.data.entity.dll 6.4.3.0
mysql.web.dll 6.4.3.0
SubSonic.Core.dll 3.0.0.3
SubSonic.Web.dll 3.5.0.0

Compiled for .NET 3 and 4

System.Web.Abstractions.dll
System.Web.Helpers.dll
System.Web.Mvc.dll
System.Web.WebPages.Deployment.dll
System.Web.WebPages.dll
System.Web.WebPages.Razor.dll

I read something about the mysql provider having to be Pascal Cased, and I
tried this, but it didn't solve the problem.
