I've just started to use Sharepoint 2007 and must say it's a powerful product but on first attempts at customisation etc it's quite painful, hopefully this will ease!
Using WSPBuilder is an absolute must to to get you back into Visual Studio. Anyway today I got stuck with a WSPBuilder "Could not load type" error whilst viewing the deployed webpart in Sharepoint.
This is quite simple to fix:
- Make sure you are using the latest version of WSPBuilder, the older versions have some problems in this area
- Check you have the right assembly name in the aspx file or use the fully qualified name and check the PublicKeyToken!
