I'm new to ASP.NET so forgive me if this is a naive question. I want to
reference a Windows Library from an ASP.NET application using a project
reference in Visual Studio .NET 2003. This Windows Library does not have
any System.Windows.Forms.dll references. It is simply our business class
logic for our more traditional Windows Desktop applications that I would like
to reuse in an ASP.NET context. It is written in Managed C++ and has been
working well for us for years now.
However, when I include a project reference to it in my ASP.NET project and
then try running the ASP.NET code, I get a response in IE of "Server
Application Unavailable: The web application you are attempting to access on
this web server is currently unavailable. An error detailing the cause of
this specific request failure can be found in the application event log..."
The event log message is aspnet_wp.exe stopped unexpectedly.
This happens (I believe) because the base logic dll (called libebfnet.dll in
my case) is copied locally into the bin directory of the ASP.NET application.
Is there anything particular I have to know about ASP.NET and project
references to Windows Libraries (or project references to any libraries, for
that matter)?
My Windows library libebfnet.dll is not strongly named, in case that matters.
I appreciate any help,
Jeff
