ABCpdf: Assembly not found

Hi,

I am using the ABCpdf .NET component. I downloaded the trial version, from VS referenced it in the GAC, built my app, and everything works great.

When I upload it to the discountasp.net servers, I get the following error: "File or assembly name ABCpdf, or one of its dependencies, was not found."

I am using CodeBehind pages in C# and am using an import statement: "using WebSupergoo.ABCpdf3;". I have also tried: "using WebSupergoo.ABCpdf;". No difference.

When I upload a copy of the DLL into my bin directory and reference it there, all is good.

Obviously, my development reference to the GAC is not translating to the GAC on the host server. Any ideas?

Thanks!
Ron

 

Yup. Been there done that. I'm also using AspNetEmail and that worked fine when I uploaded it, so I have some experience getting this to work. But, I'm stumped on this one...

 

I have version 3.5.0. This is the same one as discountasp.net. If anyone knows... what's the difference between ABCpdf and ABCpdf3? Is the former a previous version, and the latter version 3.0 and above? Couldn't find anything on that. The examples all used ABCpdf3, so that's what I've been using, although I tried both

I'm having no luck here. I have the reference pointing to my bin directory. Then I remove the reference and rebuild - expected no assembly errors. I then re-reference the GAC version and the build works again. I upload my application's DLL and PDB files to the web server. If the ABCpdf.DLL is in my bin directory on the server, it works, but if I remove it, it fails.

I assumed the dependency was being stored inside the DLL or PDB, but there appears to be some "memory" of the DLL being stored in my local bin directory... is the dependency reference cached somewhere?

Thanks,
Ron

 

Thanks Bruce... I think that got it.

 

Hello,

I tried to reference namespace WebSupergoo.ABCpdf4 in my code and I have placed the ABCpdf.dll (version 4) in my "bin" directory, but when the page is compiled it gives error stating that there are multiple definitions for ABCpdf.Doc and it is referencing ABCpdf.dll in ...\Microsoft .Net\...\ASP.NET Temporary Files\...\...

I realize that DiscountASP does not have version 4 yet, but if I have my own license for version 4 I am wondering what I need to do to be able to utilize the DLL from my "bin" directory instead of the other one...

Any help/advice would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks
