WebPart fails to load, error message displays the wrong webpart name, appends numeric 1

Dan McDevitt asked on November 17, 2022 18:23

We have a relatively new problem wherein on occasion a WebPart will fail to load, and the displayed error message shows an incorrect WebPart name. Instead of showing the actual WebPart name, it shows the name with a numeric 1 appended to the end, like this:

[Error loading the WebPart 'FEI_shoppingCart_ONEFEI1' of type 'FEI_shoppingCart_ONEFEI']

The actual name of the WebPart is FEI_shoppingCart_ONEFEI, without the #1 on the end. We have not been able to determine what causes the WebPart to fail or why the name is being displayed wrong; so far we have fixed the problem by re-deploying the control. Does anyone know what causes this problem and how to prevent it from occurring?

Thank you in advance.

Check to see if the webpart is registered more than once in Kentico. This would force it to have a different code name using the same files. Do a search for the code name without the 1 at the end and see what comes up.

It could also be due to different layouts for the webpart. Maybe the layout isn't using the proper namespace and classname?

Check also the Event log - there should be more details about what happened logged in the error event.
