Locating DLLs outside of bin

james

Would anyone mind explaining how I can use .dlls outisde of /bin?
Really I want to use dll's that are located in "../", but I haven't
been able to get .Net to look outside of my base directory. I tried
this in web.config:

<configuration> <runtime><assem blingbinding xmls="urn:schem as-microsoft-
com:asm.v1"><pr obing privatepath="../">...

If there is no way to look outside my base directory, is there a was
to look for dll's in the base directory (instead of bin)?

Thanks for any help,
James

asp.net uses its own loader, and its rather simple. when it starts up it
copies the bin dll's to the temp folder it actually runs the site in. a
load a dll at runtime it must be in the temp folder or in the system
folder. if you add a reference to the project (or web.config) the dll's
will copied to the temp folder.

Thanks Bruce. Do you know how I would add a reference in the
web.config? Could I specify an absolute path? Right now our
installer is copying dll's to our application's main folder, and a
second time to /bin for our website.

VB.NET Deployment of multiple EXEs referencing DLLs

by: Jon | last post by:

I have 3 VB.net executables that reference the same 3 VB.Net DLLs. How is the best way to distribute the EXEs without putting 3 copies of of DLL on a user's machine. I looked into Private assemblies and the Global Assembly but I am having a hard time figuring them out. Ideally, I would like to have one install that puts all 3 EXEs and all 3 DLLs on the workstation. Any recommendations would be appreciated. Jonathan

How to get ASP.NET to find DLLs in different paths

by: Oenone | last post by:

I'm sure there's an obvious way to do this, but I'm missing it so far. I have an ASP.NET application that relies on several DLLs to work. Currently in order to get my site working I have to put them all in the bin/ folder within my web site's directory. As I have numerous web sites, I want to be able to place all of these DLLs just once into a single location elsewhere on the disk (e.g., "D:\DLLs"). I don't want to put them into the...

I'm having troubles getting the debugging process to work consistenly for external classes. I got it to work once and then I turned it off. But now I can't get re-enabled. Here is what I'm doing. If someone could tell me what I'm missing that would be great. 1. Create an external class and call it Test.dll. 2. Create a test Asp.net app called App.sln. 3. For App.sln I set a reference to Test.dll. 4. Compile App.sln and run it. The web...
