Working my way through your book but can't seem to find how to properly install and reference a dll. Assume I have this structure:

/folder1/folder2/page.aspx
and I want to reference myDll.dll. I believe I have to put the dll in a bin directory. Do I put the bin directory at the root or at
/folder1/folder2/bin?

Also, I have referenced the dll in Solutions Explorer/Properties Pages/References. Is there anywhere else I should "reference or register" the dll?

While my app works fine in the development environment, I keep getting this error when used remotely:BC30002: Type 'MyDll.ProjectFile' is not defined.

Thanks.

John

Hi there,
It depends. If folder1/folder2 are just "flders", then you should place them in the root flder's Bin folder. If one of them is marked as an Application in IIS, you should put it in the Bin for the folder that's marked as an app.

That seems to indicate that your remote server has a different configuration that yours. Maybe one of your subfolders is an application in IIS?

Hi Imar,

Thanks for the reply. The aspx page called has VB code behind that is executed by the OnPageLoad event. I have tried putting the dll in a bin folder both off the root and off "folder2" without success.

The hosting provider tells me theirs is a "medium trust" environment. Not sure what this means or if there should be any specific web.config entries to accommodate this security level. Could that be the issue and do you have any ideas on how to resolve it?

It turns out the dll was apparently not built for a medium trust environment. According to hosting support, their advice on how to build for a medium trust environment consists of:

adding the line [assembly: AllowPartiallyTrustedCallers] to the AssemblyInfo.cs and recompile the dll.

I have passed this on to the software provider in hopes of getting a compliant dll.

Thanks for the pointers.
