assembly directory

[Ryan Moore]

I need to add an additional directory to search for assemblies other than
the "bin" directory.... how do I do this in the web.config file?

[S. Justin Gengo]

Ryan,

I haven't been able to find anything that says you can add a path to search
for assemblies. The only thing I found says that the <add> tag is for naming
an assembly in the \bin or GAC.


<add>

Adds an assembly reference to use during compilation of a dynamic resource.
ASP.NET automatically links this assembly to the resource when compiling
each code module.
The value of <add> is an assembly name, not a DLL path. ASP.NET looks up the
assembly name to find its physical DLL location. You can optionally specify
the wildcard character * (an asterisk) to add every assembly within an
application's private assembly cache, which is located either in the \bin
subdirectory of an application or in the Microsoft® .NET Framework install
directory (%windir%\Microsoft.NET\Framework\version\).

Sincerely,
