ASP.NET: problem loading managed C++ DLL

[NGM]

Hello All

I have a unmanaged C++ DLL, which has been wrapped up with a manged C++ DLL.
When i refer to this managed DLL in Windows form based applications it works out fine. But when i refer to the the same managed C++ DLL in ASP.Net application. [i.e, : ASP.NET --> TALW (managed C++ DLL) --> TAL (unmanaged c++ DLL)

it gives me the following runtime error

(where TALW is the managed c++ wrapper around a umanaged C++ dll

Server Error in '/EMSUI' Application.

Unable to load file 'TALW'.

Hi NGM,

We had similar problems loading our Managed C++/Unmanged C++ DLL combo. The reasons
why they failed included:

* The Unmanaged DLL were not in the system evironment variable
* There was a conflict with some global C++ classes and the .NET classes.

The error we were getting was more like:

"[FileNotFoundException]: File or assembly name SomeDLL, or one of its dependencies, was not found."

so I'm wondering if your issue is really a problem with loading the unmanaged DLL. I'm a assuming
that the unmanaged DLL is dynamically linked but statically linked through a lib.

It seems strange that it occurs during a page load and no sooner. How have you referenced
the Managed C++ library?
