Adding references to dlls in an ASP.net site

Hi there,

I'm trying to create an ASP site in Visual Studio 2005 that needs to
include some dlls that I have already written. The problem is that
when I add a reference to a certain dll, i get "The specified module
could not be found (Exception from HRESULT: 0x8007007E)" when i try to
build. I am not sure which dll is causing it because one of them (a c#
dll) references the other (a c++ dll), but the error message displays
after adding a ref. to either of them, (my guess is it's the C++ one)

I have previously gone down the path of signing these dlls and putting
them into the GAC, but i was lead to believe by this article:
http://support.microsoft.com/default...b;en-us;306149 that it
is a bad practice to do so.

Any help would be greatly appreciated... I have looked at the other
articles in this forum that make reference to dlls/GAC etc, to no
avail... Thanks

Is it possible that your dlls are dependent on other dlls for their
functionality? That happened to me once.
You can examine the dlls with DependencyWalke r - http://www.dependencywalker.com/
to find this out.
Hope this helps.

In our application we've used several 3rd party windows form controls that were installed into their own individual directories.

Some of the dlls in the references are set to "Copy Local", others are not. (We can handle that Windows system dlls...

I hope this makes sense ! We have an VB ASP.NET Web Application. In the bin directory are all our compiled dlls. We have written some integration with a 3rd party, which some of our clients use and some that don't. Those that don't won't have a particular dll in the bin directory of the web site. However, removing this dll causes a problem because .Net seems to want to

Maybe someone can give an idea of why I am having this problem before I put my fist through the computer screen. My problem goes like this.... Lets say I keep my DLLs in a folder called "DLLS". I have an asp.net application called "app" that references some of these dlls.

Hi all, I'm quite lost with how adding web references to a project creates proxy classes. I've developed a web service with two classes inside and that contains three references to three DLLs. After building it up, I've deployed it on the web server. From my Windows application, I then add a web reference to that web service.

Hello, Just created my first ASP.NET 2.0 project with Visual Studio 2005. I see they changed some very important things. So, I have the follwoing questions: 1. How can I view and remove project references. I can add references from the project menu, but where is reference "folder" which used to be in VS 2003 from which I could add or remove references. 2. I see that there's no bin folder, project still compiles and runs, that's

Hi everyone, I've recently converted a solution to VS 2005 and .NET 2.0. from '03 and .NET 1.x. The solution has two Web sites in it, both of which need to share each other's code. Previously, I had added a reference to the compiled DLL of one project to the other, thereby allowing me to create class instances and call functions. Now, in 2005, I still have references to B.DLL in project A and A.DLL in project B, but those DLLs...

In Windows 11 and 10, there is no way to turn off the Windows Update option using the Control Panel or Settings app; it automatically checks for updates and installs any it finds, whether you like it or not.

These AIs are designed to manage the entire lifecycle of a software development project—planning, coding, testing, and deployment—without human intervention. Imagine an AI that can take a project description, break it down, write the code, debug it, and then launch it, all on its own.... Now, this would greatly impact the work of software developers.
