    if the version 16 works the only production, i assume since its Client Side Library and it has backward compatibility and could work for most of the commands.

    is your production instance is also on the same installation?

    There are few other explanations for this error then

    01. Invalid DLL cache - if this is the case restarting the server and doing an IISreset after should resolve this

    02. The .NET version difference between now and before the upgrade - may be a thing to check

    hi,

    Thanks for update.

    No we haven't updated any DLL or plugin, other then running in place upgrade to version 8.2.3. in test environment.

    In production still this dll or plugin working fine, when i checked the SharePoint client dll there, it shows version 16.0

    Hi

    Yes the 2013 version is 15 but your code has reference to 16.

    Did someone update your code recently? If so they seem to have downloaded 2016 Client DLL and referenced in Workflow solution and deployed to CRM

    Deployment will not fail because CRM will only try to load the assembly referenced when code executed and it looks like on the CRM server GAC you have older version

    If this is the case, you will  have to update your code to use version 15 DLLs and re-deploy your Workflows project 

    Hope this helps

    hi Eswaran,

    One more query the dll error shows it requires SharePoint client version 16.0.0.0 which is related to sharepoint 2016 version i belive,but we are using sharepoint 2013 version which use to work fine before upgrade to Dynamics 365 on premise from CRM 2016.

    So SharePoint 2013 integration will be a problem now?

    The error message you get is for the following reason

    "This assembly does not match what was requested and therefore you get this error. In simple words, it can't find the assembly that was referenced. Make sure it can find the right assembly by putting it in the GAC or in the application path"

    stackoverflow.com/.../the-located-assemblys-manifest-definition-does-not-match-the-assembly-reference

    Could you check the Sharepoint Client DLL version referenced in your project in Visual Studio?

    It looks like its able to find the Sharepoint Client DLL but it not finding the correct version of the DLL.

    I assume you added your Sharepoint client DLLs to GAC? if so could you check the version of the GAC DLL and the version referenced in your Custom Workflow Acitivty project?

    Please see the following links on how to check GAC dll versions

    stackoverflow.com/.../how-to-view-the-folder-and-files-in-gac

    docs.microsoft.com/.../how-to-view-the-contents-of-the-gac

    Hope this helps

    I assume your integration is purely based on SharePoint client side library CSOM?

    Did you do a CRM in place upgrade or installed on a separate server and imported the old org to new server?
