Question

I’ve got a web application and a corresponding web.config. The application depends upon assemblies, which are located on the system in a specific path (e.g. c:\programms\myprog\bla.dll) but not registered in the GAC. How can I tell my web application where to find these assemblies it depends upon? I guess I can do that somewhere in the web.config. But how?

Thanks in advance!

Check this article on Assembly Binding Redirection.

Basically you should add this to your config file:

<runtime>         <assemblyBinding xmlns='urn:schemas-microsoft-com:asm.v1' appliesTo='v1.0.3705'>             <dependentAssembly>                 * assembly information goes here *             </dependentAssembly>        </assemblyBinding> </runtime>
