Problems with GAC

[aswandi]

Hello, <BR><BR>I've got an assembly that needs to be accessed over multiple applications and I'm having some trouble with it. I've compiled the source vb into a strong named dll, moved the dll into the global assembly cache and added the assembly to my web.config, but my namespaces still aren't available. It just spits out the parser error:<BR><BR>File or assembly name templateVB, or one of its dependencies, was not found.<BR><BR>Am I missing something? <BR><BR>Thanks,<BR><BR>])rydid you use GacUtil.exe?No, because for some really bizarre reason that utility doesn't exist on the dedicated box this is being hosted off of. I read through the sdk info and it claimed you could manually drag the .dll to the assembly directory in WINNT and it would be added. I did this and the assembly did appear with all the correct info, so I figured it was working. Does the gacutil do anything other than move the dll to the gac directory? <BR><BR>A friend of mine mentioned I need to add a "reference" to the assembly for each project, but I'm not using VS.Net atm, so this didn't seem as relevent.<BR><BR>Thanks,<BR><BR>])ry
