This code works great in a windows application:
// Dynamically load the DLL
sDLLName = "..\\bin\\Test2 .dll";
Assembly objAssembly = System.Reflecti on.Assembly.Loa dFrom(sDLLName) ;
// Create an instance of the class
object testObject = objAssembly.Cre ateInstance("Te st2.Test");
// Call the method "TestMessag e" which has one argument
object[] object2 = new object[1];
object2[0] = 200;
MethodInfo Method = testObject.GetT ype().GetMethod ("TestMessage") ;
object result = Method.Invoke(t estObject, object2);
// This should return 300 and does
Console.WriteLi ne(result.ToStr ing());
However, from a web service project, I can't seem to get this to work. It
can't find the DLL.
Questions:
* Does IIS sandbox the project and not allow external references?
* Is there a special way that IIS needs set up to allow this?
* I assume that IIS works with server paths, so maybe the path I have
specified above does not work. Should I be using a different path variable?
* Does IIS shadow the web service files to another location making this
approach impossible?
Any help is most appreciated!
Thanks!

- asp.net doesn't sandbox by default (can change this in web.config)
- what happens if you change the code to?
sDLLName = "Test2.DLL" ;
Assembly.Load(s DLLName)
and place Test2.DLL in the bin directory of the web service
- asp.net does shadow copy DLLs but that shouldn't affect the path operations.

Hi! The problem is that we use the same DLLs for other apps on the server.
For example, a windows service, desktop app, etc. It would be nice to have
the same DLL used in all cases and not 3 copies for each project.
Thanks!

As I mentioned before, you should always use Assembly.Load() instead of
Assembly.LoadFr om() when you are loading the assembly to use its
functionality.
If you want to have 1 copy of the files in a single location, you have a
few options:
1) Put the files in the Global Assembly Cache http://msdn.microsoft.com/library/de...emblycache.asp
2) Use the codebase element of assemblyBinding in your config file: http://msdn.microsoft.com/library/de...rfcodebase.asp
3) Use the probing element of assemblyBinding in your config file: http://msdn.microsoft.com/library/de...grfprobing.asp
