the problem is.



when i  call an interface of a dll from my asp page, that interface get

called,

but when i use that, and close my asp page, the dll could't be released.



so i can't build the dll again, or can't make the changes in the dll.



why is so.



i am using the following code in my asp page.

<%

dim  obj

set   obj  = server.createobject("mtscomp1.component1.1")

%>

 the value is  <%=     obj.GetValues

  set obj = nothing %>



it works only for the first time, then if i want to make changes in my

dll, it is not possible for me, as my asp never release that dll.

heh, guess what, according to the microsoft documentation this behaviour is

by design :)



basically, once the web server has loaded a DLL once, it stays resident

(probably something to do with keeping things efficient or some other crap).



so what you have to do is the following



once you are ready to re-compile your DLL run the following command to stop

the web service  (note, just stopping the web server with its stop option

doesnt work)



net stop iisadmin /y



then, recompile your dll and re-start the service with



net start w3svc



theres an extra one you need to start if you are using IIS, this works for

PWS.



if you check the microsoft MSDN library and search for net stop iisadmin,

you should find the article that documents this "feature".

Hi,



  This is a bug in IIS 4.0. To over come this problem, try testing your component first in VB. If required functionalities are over,
then deploy it in ASP page and try.



  Once IIS loads the DLL, it doesn't release or unload the dll. 



  Did u try this option? "net stop iisadmin /y"
