OMG...... Was it my imagination that I read somewhere that asp.net lets
'programmers concentrate on programming?' What could have been easier then
making a change to a vbscript based .asp and then a simple copy to the
production machine? IMHO changing asp to run precompiled code as opposed to
script being interpreted time after time would have good enough for a
start....oiy ! This sounds like DLL hell v.2 You mentioned deployment tools,
can you recommend any and will they take care of this particular problem.

HI Bill:
You could install the DLL once into the Global Assembly Cache, and
from the GAC the assembly can be shared across applications on the
entire computer (see
http://msdn.microsoft.com/library/de...mblyCache.asp).
I'd caution you that the GAC can often be more trouble than it is
worth. If you have a good/automated deployment strategy for your
applications you'll never notice that a dll has to go into two
different locations.

I have a asp.net application that shares DLL's with some backend vb.net

DLL I point in to the project, do the build and everything works great.
It seems though when I try to move all this to a prod server odd things
happened.
1. if both the online and backend share DLL "x" . "x" exists in the bin
directory where the online component lives and also in the bin dir that
contains the backend vb.net programs. Is this correct? If so when I make a
change to DLL x on my test machine and do I have to copy DLL x to all the
directories that contain DLL x? Is there a way around this ?
