Hello Hiren,

We are sorry to hear that you have this issue. From your description we see that you want to use GroupDocs.Viewer for .NET and GroupDocs.Annotation for .NET in a single ASP.NET WebForms application.

This is possible, but because GroupDocs.Viewer and GroupDocs.Annotation have the same namespaces, there is a conflict, incompatibility between them. In order to resolve it you need to use aliases.

First of all, you need to assign different aliases for GroupDocs.Viewer and GroupDocs.Annotation in the “Solution Explorer” → “References” tab.

Then in the C# source files you need to declare (extern alias ViewerAlias;) and then use (using ViewerA = ViewerAlias::Groupdocs.Web.UI;) these aliases.

We suggest you to read these articles, if you have troubles with aliases:
1. How to: Use the Global Namespace Alias (C# Programming Guide)
2. 9.3.1 Using alias directives
3. extern alias (C# Reference)
4. Extern alias walkthrough
