how to use the file of .dll in asp.net, i put the files in the directory named bin,but it does not work ,and why.

Can you describe more about the DLL you want use? Is it a .NET DLL or a COM DLL?

(And I would suggest moving this topic to the "General .NET" forum.)

Thanks, it is a very simple question, but i don't how to deal with it.

Use the .net .dll files in asp.net, in fact in the books it says that if i put the .dll in the directory name bin it can work correctly,but it don't work. very interesting.

Ok, so it sounds like you are using a .NET assembly.

Simply putting in the directory won't let you use it. You need to have a reference to it when you compile the code.

If you are using Visual Studio, you can do the following:
Put the DLL into the root of your ASP.NET project, then make a regular .NET reference to it. Once you click "Add Reference..." you'll get to the .NET assemblies tab in the reference dialog. Then you click "Browse" which should open up the root directory of the project. In there you'll find the DLL you want to use, select it and ok out of everything. Visual Studio will then copy the DLL into the bin directory for you and the code that uses that assembly will then work.

If I am compiling a DLL on the fly using the ICodeCompiler, how would I go about using the methods/properties of the newly compiled DLL in the application? The DLL has been compiled and resides in the BIN directory though I am still not able to reference it.

Thanks ! This helps me solve my problem. In addition, in aspx page, I added the line below to use control on the page.

<%@RegisterAssembly="(DLL Name)"Namespace="(Namespace from Object Browser)"TagPrefix="(Any Prefix)" %>

DLL is library file that contains code and data that can be used by more than one program at the same time
