GAC + Http module (ISAPI filter) problem

[Dmitry Duginov]

I wrote HTTP module and configured it to fire with every request to my
application.

In IIS6 aspnet_isapi.dll mapped as Application Extension, web.config
contains the following:
<system.web>

<httpModules>

<add name="RefFilter" type="RefFilter.RefFilter, RefFilter" />

</httpModules>

I.e. class name and namespace are the same.

When the assembly is in \bin folder of the application everything works
fine.

For some reasons I need to put this assembly to GAC. I made sure the
assembly has a strong name, then installed it into GAC, removing \bin folder
from the application directory. Now the assembly cannot be loaded (although
I double-check it is properly deployed in GAC), HTTP module doesn't work.
What I am missing here? Exact error message posted below

Regards,

Dmitry

P.S. All the development done on another machine. Only single .dll file has
been copied from there

Hi Dimitry:

You'll have to specify the strong name to have the assembly loaded
from the GAC. i.e:

RefFilter, Version=1.1.100.0, Culture=neutral,
PublicKeyToken=BEEFF00DBEEFF00D

HTH,

Thanks, it worked!
