Error related to PageTypeBuilder; System.Reflection.CustomAttributeFormatException: 'LongStringSettings' property specified was not found

I am running a project using EpiServer CMS 6 (EpiServer.CMS.Core.6.1.379.0) and PageTypeBuilder 2.
The server is using .NET Framework 4.

I got an error related to PageTypeBuilder and the assembly-version.
After that I used 'gacutil -i PageTypeBuilder.dll' in order to put the assemble into the Global Assembly Cache. After that I got an error related to the
file Autofac.dll, and I subsequently added that to the same cache.

When browsing the website through Internet Information Services 7 I get the following error:

System.Reflection.CustomAttributeFormatException: 'LongStringSettings' property specified was not found. ---> System.Reflection.CustomAttributeFormatException: 'LongStringSettings' property specified was not found.

I found out that the error was created because a module using an old PageTypeBuilder-version.


Solution - I added this to web.config:

<dependentAssembly>
 <assemblyIdentity name="PageTypeBuilder" publicKeyToken="6fb8762af0e6dbed" culture="neutral" />
 <bindingRedirect oldVersion="1.9.0.0-2.0.0.0" newVersion="2.0.0.0" />
 <bindingRedirect oldVersion="1.0.0.0-1.3.1.0" newVersion="1.3.1.0" />
 <codeBase version="1.3.1.0" href="bin\ptb131\PageTypeBuilder.dll" />
 </dependentAssembly>
