Okay, here's another one for yuz...

I am using .NET Framework 1.1 on a Win2k Pro workstation running IIS
5.0.

I am trying to implement some 3rd party web controls and I'm
running in to some trouble. Actually, it's the IEWebControls by
Microsoft and I have compiled the DLL file under the .NET 1.1 Soft.
Devel. Kit. I have placed the DLL file into the folder
C:\Inetpub\wwwroot\bin and add the files to the folder webctrl_client
all in accordance to the instructions.

I had these files working on an Intranet server so I know they
work. Now, I'm trying to get everything set up on my computer.
However, when I try to access the ASPX example I have set up I get the
following parse error:

File or assembly name Microsoft.Web.UI.WebControls, or one of its
dependencies, was not found.

What the ^$%#!!!

What I understand is that the ASP.NET server is supposed to
automatically detect any new 3rd party contols as soon as you add the
DLL file to the wwwroot\bin folder. However, the web server is not
recognizing the controls.

Any thoughts or insights?

TIA.
 
I am not sure if I understand the question but I will answer anyway.
I don't think that ASP.NET will detect the dll just out of the blue.
Why don't you add reference to it. Make it a part of your project.

I hope this helps.

Hello,

That's correct, copy the dll to the din dir and reference it as
described above.

BTY: if you get tabs to work with code behind (VB), send me a message.
Looks and sounds simple, may just not be my day.

I found the problem.

ASP.NET automatically detects (and registers) DLL file placed in the
"\bin" folder of your APPLICATION. If your application *is* the
"\wwwroot" folder the you would create the folder "\wwwroot\bin". My
problem was my APPLICATION was in another folder "\wwwroot\app1". So,
I placed the DLL files in the "\wwwroot\app1\bin" folder and every
suddently worked as it was supposed to.

It's the simple things that kill you!
 
ChiefDnd,

I have some sample code (from other sites) that work well with my setup.

Did you want me to post it?
