I'm dealing with that error message again. In this particular case, it is:

Could not load file or assembly 'Microsoft.AspNet.EntityDataSource' or one of its dependencies. The system cannot find the file specified.

I'm wondering if there is a way to get more information. For example, apparently it couldn't find a file, could I get the path where it looked?

bingo, solved the immediate problem, thanks. I'm still interested in the general question of getting more info out of that error message. – William Jockusch Aug 09 '17 at 17:25
