a strong named DLL which calls a native one ??

[Guest]

Hello all, here's my problem :
I wrote a .Net CF DLL which calls a native one.

I try to put my DLL into the GAC (strong name, .gac file), and each time a
call occurs to my DLL, I get a TypeLoadException on MY type (not a problem of
..Net assemblies).

Any idea ??

sounds like the dll didn't make it into the GAC. Take a look at the GACLOG
file in the root folder of the device for clues. Also check the registry
at:-
HKLM\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\.NETCompactFramework\Installer\Assemblies\Global
For all assemblies currently in the GAC

Since you gave me this trick some days ago I always check it and it's not.
That's probably why I get the message :
"Test.exe TypeLoadException
Impossible to load the type MyType".

But weirdly, there is no GACLOG.TXT file on my PPC (SP3 Beta running).

And of course, when deployed privately, everything runs well.

When you deploy the dll and gac file you place these both in the \Windows
folder?

Yes of course. The only thing I can confirm is the SP3 doesn't write the
GACLOG.TXT.

I also tried to register my DLL with cgacutil -i MyDLL.dll, this returns no
error messages but the DLL is not registered.

Please make sure your DLL is fully signed (as opposed to delay signed)
otherwise it will not be GAC-ed.
You can use sn.exe [Microsoft (R) .NET Framework Strong Name Utility] to do
so.
