CS0006: MetaData file not found

[CSharpguy]

I've been working an a web application for 3 months now and its been
compiling and running fine when I Debug -- > start without debugging, today I
come in and work on the web app and do the samething but now i'm getting the
following errors:

CS0006: Metadata file
'c:\windows\microsoft.net\framework\v1.1.4322\temp orary asp.net
files\primeintranet\92e15b42\88c43b67\assembly\dl2 \144e69cc\00d4ffbe_fbc8c401\log4net.dll' could not be found

and its not looking for the same dll every time. before it was hascode.dll
dll,
what would be causing this error now when it worked fine for 3 months doing
the samething everyday

Hi

We see this quite a lot. An app can happily run for weeks then suddenly
we'll get this problem, which is then intermittent. We use .Net 1.1.

We are able to resolve it by removing the <identity impersonate="true" />
line from Web.config (note that the problem doesn't seem to occur if the
<identity> line includes username and password attributes).

I don't know why this fixes it - there has been much talk about it being to
do with GAC'd assemblies in other forums, but we don't use any!

Hope this helps
