    We have an SharePoint services 3.0 installation that uses custom web parts on 100s of subsites.  The custom web parts on any website is presenting this error
    Web Part Error: A Web Part or Web Form Control on this Page cannot be displayed or imported. The type could not be found or it is not registered as safe.
    This past weekend we decided to create a new database server and migrate the databases to the new server in an effort to retire an old box. 
    INitially we attempted to go through the configuration wizard which didnt do anything but add a new database server to our farm.  What we have done is remove the new database server from the farm and use an alias on the SP server to continue to use the same name but actually get its data from the new database server.
    Everything works with the site except these custom webparts. 
    Any thoughts on where to go to first, should i redeploy what i think are the webparts from VS 2005 (solutions are VS 2005 slns.)?

    You need to add something to the web.config file such that it will consider it safe.

    Jump to: "Strong-Naming Assemblies", and read from there.

    You need to make Safe Control enteries in your web.config for the particular web application.

    1. Open web.config
    2. Locate the SafeControls Tag
    3. Make a safe control entry 

    <SafeControl Assembly="Assembly name, Version=1.0.0.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=d8eb6481d8b4beec" Namespace="your webpart namespace" TypeName="*" Safe="True"  />

    In order to find the assembly details, Open the GAC. Right click on your dll and then click properties.

    Stumbled on this after working with getting SmartPart 2010 working on Sharepoint 2010.  (Which may be a whole other ball of wax.)

    I got the assembly token and checked in my webconfig and it was already listed as safe, but safeagainstscripts was fales.  Should I remove that or set it to true?

    In may case, the webpart is safe and  there is dependent assembly (class library) is safe too, but the dependent assembly is not added to GAC. Once I added the assembly (DLL) in GAC, every thing running cool.

    So solution option: project missing in its GAC loaction.
