MC++ impliciting loading native DLL

[Philip]

I have developed a MC++ business component (named PWSNetBridge.dll) which
utilizes an exported class resident within a separate native DLL (named
PWSWinBridge.dll). This exported class is made visible via a
__declspec(dllexport) declaration.... so the separate DLL is implicitly
loaded.

If I write a C# test program to invoke PWSNetBridge.dll everything works
fine. I place both PWSNetBridge.dll and PWSWinBridge.dll within the same
directory as the C# test program and everything works fine.

On the other hand, if I invoke PWSNetBridge.dll from a ASP.NET application
and I place PWSNetBridge.dll and PWSWinBridge.dll into the ASP.NET
application's "bin" directory, there is a failure loading the
PWSNetBridge.dll assembly. If within PWSNetBridge.dll I comment out
references to the PWSWinBridge.dll class... everything works fine..... so the
problem has been isolated to the PWSWinBridge.dll native DLL that is
implicitly loaded.

Help !!!
