Loading a deployed Assembly - System.IO.FileNotFoundException

B

Brian

I've looked through the previous posts on this one and have verified
permissions and location of my Dlls, but I am still getting an
exception when I try to Load an assembly.

The directory where my Dlls are located give the ASPNET user full
control, and all Dlls used by the Assembly in question are in the
local folder with the rest of the web application Dlls.

Could someone take a look at my error and shed some light on this?

I am passing an assembly name and class type to my "activator" method,
and when I do an Assembly.Load, I get the following exception:

Sounds like you're using an assembly that's coming from the GAC (the
ExceptionApplicationBlock).

ASP.Net ASPX Pages don't see assemblies from the GAC unless they are
registered in the Compilation portion of the web.config file. If I recall
right even explicitly loading the assembly with an IMPORT doesn't work - it
needs the entry in the Config file.

No such problem exists with locally deployed assemblies as long as they are
in teh BIN directory...
