Why does the error occur in WinForms GridControl?
The error type or namespace name Syncfusion could not be found (are you missing a using
directive or an assembly reference?) occurs
due to the following reasons in WinForms GridControl:
1. Referring to the application’s reference DLLs like the DLL version as Target Framework version.
- Target Framework version is lower than Syncfusion DLL’s version
- Example: TargetFramework version: 3.5
Syncfusion Installed framework version: 4.6
2. Creating an application under one .NET Framework.
- You can use multiple projects for your application. In every application, referred Syncfusion DLLs version should be the same.
3. The GAC assemblies are removed or the reference path differs from the Target Framework.
- Trying to refer to the higher version DLLs in lower framework version projects.
4. Mismatching
assemblies of GAC assemblies and user-defined reference path assemblies.
- You can see this by opening your project in Notepad or unloading and editing your project in Visual Studio. Syncfusion assemblies should not be as illustrated in the following screenshot.
- So, remove the hint path and assembly settings like as below illustrated screenshot.
