Hello All,

I hope someone can help me to explain why we need the following code in web.config.

In web.config (from TBH's full version), we have

<compilation debug="true">
<assembilies>
   <add assembly="System.Transactions, Version=2.0.0.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=B77A5C561934E089"/>
   <add assembly="System.Web, Version=2.0.0.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=B03F5F7F11D50A3A"/>
   <add assembly="System, Version=2.0.0.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=B77A5C561934E089"/>
  .
  .
</assembilies>

My questions: why do we need <add assembly= ...> in web.config since we have mentioned in TBH_CustomEvents?? I am very curious. I tried to find it from the book, but I couldn't. Other books did mention, we should add reference in web.config.

Is it important that to have them in web.config?? But we have a custom events already. Please help and solve my questions.
Thanks in advance,

TBH_CustomEvents is a separate project. The web project (I know they don't use the word "Project" any more) does not have access to any references made in a different project. There are 2 ways to add a reference to an ASP.NET project: add the assembly tags to either web.config or individual pages, or else copy the assemblies to the bin folder.

By the way, the assemblies you mentioned above are not there for the sake of events. The CustomEvents assembly doesn't need an entry in web.config because it gets copied to the bin folder of the web site.

Thank you very much.
