help!

[Mark]

I have one VS.NET 2003 solution that contains 3 projects. Two of the
projects are ASP.NET projects each with their own .dll. The third project
is a class library with its own .dll. We'll refer to them as project1.dll,
project2.dll and myclass.dll.

Both project1 and project2 have references to myclass.dll. The build order
builds myclass.dll first. When I copy all three .dll into our BIN folder of
our site at the same time, the site bombs with the error message below. If
I only copy project1.dll and myclass.dll, and view that FIRST, and then add
project2.dll and test the site again IT WORKS!!!!!

WHAT THE HECK IS GOING ON? The verbose error message is below. We
thoroughly appreciate any suggestions for how to deal with this.

that ambiguity can be fixed if you explicitly qualify the class when you
create it.
Ex myClass ex = new myClass() will cause ambiguity because it may be defined
elsewhere so do this:

program1.namespace1.myClass ex = new program1.namespace1.myClass();

[snip]
elsewhere

program2.namespace2.myClass ex = new program2.namespace2.myClass(); and so
forth to resolve the ambiguity

Alvin,

Thanks for the reply. Your response would imply that I have two similarly
named classes. I understand your point IF I had two similarly named
classes, but all three projects share the same name space and do NOT have
any similarly named classes. In the error message below, it talks about
"public class Global_asax : mynamespace.Global" being the source of my
problems. However, that snip of code does NOT exist anywhere in my project.
My global.asax page has a class name of "public class Global", not "public
class Global_asax". I believe the code the error is refering too is
literally in those temp files listed ...

Any other ideas?

Thanks in advance!
