Is it possible to import a namespace from an assembly that is not in the bin folder?
I’m using ASP.NET MVC 2 with MEF to pull controllers out of the assembly.I was able to get everything working, however, strongly typed views can’t recognize the assemblies’ objects unless the assembly is in the bin folder.
Strongly typed view means knowing the object type at compile time. In order to know the object at compile time the assembly containing the class needs to be referenced. Referencing assemblies in an ASP.NET application is done by putting them in the
binfolder.If you use reflection to load assemblies from some other non-standard location, types will be known only at runtime and you cannot use them as models for strongly typed views.
