dll not found - dotnet looking in the wrong place

Jon Maz

Hi,

Although I have placed my "wec.dll" in the correct folder
("wwwroot\wec\b in"), and have configured this "wec" folder in IIS as an
application, when an aspx page is hit, I get a "could not load type wec"
error. This error disappears if I cut-and-paste this wwwroot\wec\bin
directory into the wwwroot folder.

Thus the problem is that IIS is ignoring the fact that the sub-folder has
been configured as an application, and is refusing to look for dll's in the
sub-folder's bin directory. Does anyone know what might be causing this?
I'm now using Windows XP Pro, and never had this issue with W2000 Advanced
Server (on which this application was previously developed).

TIA,

JON

FURTHER DETAILS
If I add the following to the wwwroot\wec\web .config:

<system.web>
<configuratio n>
<compilation>
<assemblies>
<add assembly="wec" />
</assemblies>
</compilation>
</configuration>
</system.web>
....I get the following error message, which simply confirms that for some
reason Dotnet is trying to find the dll in the 'Temporary ASP.NET Files'
folder, instead of in wwwroot\wec\bin :

Un- and re-installing the Dotnet Framework fixed it.

convincing a client to go with dotNet instead of Access project

I am trying to convince a client that dotNet is preferable to an Access project (ADP/ADE). This client currently has a large, pure Access MDB solution with 30+ users, which needs to be upgraded. I believe a dotNet solution is better, but I'm trying to be as convincing as possible -- and maybe I'm wrong! I would appreciate any input or references which could help me.
