  I am trying to upload a control implemented as a dll following the instructions in
  http://www.sitefinity.com/help/developer-manual/controls-adding-controls-to-sitefinity.html
  
  And I am getting the following error:
  
  Unable to load one or more of the requested types. Retrieve the LoaderExceptions property for more information.
  
  The dll is actually being uploaded to the bin directory of the site but the control never appears in the list of controls that I can add to a page.
  
  Has anyone seen this before?
  
  Thanks
  Charles

  Hi FIMS Computing Services FIMS - UWO,
  
  Could you send us the stack error ( if it is not shown on the screen check App_Data/sitefinity.log) or a screenshot of error.
  
  Kind regards,

  I have enclosed a screen shot of the error. Nothing appears to be added to the SiteFinity.log file in the AppData folder (I renamed the old log and a new one was not created).
  
  I recently upgraded from 3.6 to 3.7 if that makes any difference.
  
  Thanks
  Charles

  I got the control to work by copying the dll to the bin directly and modifying the web.config manually.  The reason it may have failed is that my control dll had a reference to another dll. When I added both dll's to the bin directory everyting worked.
  
  Thanks
