HTPPModule and GAC problems???

G

Guest

I have written an assembly that houses a class implementing the IHTTPModule class and have strongly named it and added it to the GAC.

I then reference the assembly in my web apps web.config and get the "assembly or one of its dependancies not found" error. The trace then shows that it tried to find the assembly in the bin directory of the web app.

Why is it not finding it in the GAC? The class does nothing and there are no dependancies that could be causing this. Help?

I want to add an HTTPModule to my machine.config but cant until I get this simple problem solved!!!

Thanks

Hi,

use full qulified name when you add your assembly to config file :

<httpModules>
<add
type=".NET Class, Assembly [,Version=version number]
[,Culture=culture] [,PublicKeyToken=token]"
name="MyHttpModule" />
</httpModules>


without PublicKeyToken CLR loader won't look for your assembly in the
GAC. in application compilation phase ASP.NET uses this entry to create
reference to dynamic create assembly. and as i mention CLR take in
account if assembly reference holds SN public key.

Thanks Natty, but my httpmodules entry is as follows:

<add name="CustomAuthenticationModule" type="GenericHttpModule.SecurityModules.CustomAuthenticationModule, GenericHttpModule, Version=1.0.0.0 Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=84cff19282edc2cb"/>

So, as far as I can see I am using the fully qualified name.

Thanks
