I receive "could not load type" error message when trying to load aspx page.
The DLL is built and is located in the correct bin directory. The type name
in the "inherits" attribute matches the type name in the DLL. The
permissions on the bin drectory look okay.

In fact, the problem only occurs on a few machines. I have been
unable to find any differences between the good and bad machines as far as
software versions and configuration.

It shouldn't make any difference but the .aspx files are located in a
subdirectory below the application root. The error message goes away if I
place the .aspx files in a different application root without the
subdirectory.

Any ideas?

Hi Chriss,

Welcome to ASP.NET newsgroup.
As for the "Could not load type" error, I also think it's an assembly
loading problem. Based on my experience, it's likely caused by your
application's virtual dir's configuration. As you mentioned that the
problem occurs when the pages(cause the errror) are put in a sub dir under
the Application's root dir, then, have you checked whether the sub dir has
been configured as "Application" in the IIS? If the sub dir is also
configured as "Application", this is just the cause of the problem since
each virtual dir configured as "Application" is considered a separate
application and the pages in it and its sub dirs will try locating type
from assemblies under that dir(configured as application)'s private bin
dir. You can check it on the problem server. Also, the .NET's Fusion Log
Viewer tool (fuslogvw.exe) can help us confirm whether the runtime has
incorrectly locate assembly in the wrong path.

Thanks,
