now no error is coming and my application started working fine.
i was getting problem of assembly not loaded because i have not done changes of web part
then i copied webpart assembly from GAC (old sever) to new server GAC and changes in web.config file in new server.
Now portal started working.
Thanks to all of you.
love u all/.
