you can do one of the follwoing solutions:

• Right Click and uninstall the assembly from GAC and keep the bin assembly.
• OR update the GAC assembly by dragging the assembly from bin to the gac folder and release it there.

Disabling Button On Click

Sometimes you need to avoid multiple submission by clicking the a button multiple times to avoid that add the following javascript code to your page or script file:

function Button_Clicked(btn) {
   if (typeof(Page_ClientValidate) == 'function') {
       if (Page_ClientValidate() == false) { return false; }
       }
   btn.value = 'Please Waite...';
   btn.disabled = true;
   __doPostBack(btn.name, "");
   WebForm_DoPostBackWithOptions(new WebForm_PostBackOptions(btn.name, "", true, "", "", false, false))

}

Add the code function name to onclientclick property.

Error: "The type [Assembly] exists in both directories" & App_Code folder

if you get some error like this:

Compilation Error Description: An error occurred during the compilation of a resource required to service this request. Please review the following specific error details and modify your source code appropriately. Compiler Error Message: CS0433: The type '[Assembly]' exists in both 'c:\WINDOWS\Microsoft.NET\Framework\v2.0.50727\Temporary ASP.NET Files\sct_voting\008ce074\503ba4e5\assembly\dl3\b0922f94\4a4d3fb2_07a5c801\'[Assembly]' and 'c:\WINDOWS\Microsoft.NET\Framework\v2.0.50727\Temporary ASP.NET Files\sct_voting\008ce074\503ba4e5\App_Code.o9o-qy-r.dll'

This error shows some times when you are using ASP.NET Web Project and you are placing you code files inside "App_Code" folder.

To solve this issue change the name of the "App_Code" folder to something else.

I think that it is a bug in ASP.NET Web Project building an assembly for the project and another assembly for the "App_Code" folder.
