Running ASP.NET application from network share

[Cowboy \(Gregory A. Beamer\)]

The problem is the same with running apps across domain boundaries (app
domain, not NT domain). You are creating what, in essence, is a distributed
application. The system can pull the ASPX pages and parse from your UNC, but
it has a hard time pulling the assemblies into memory. Thus, you end up with
a failure.

Choices:
1. Move all of your code into the ASPX pages and ASAX page. .NET will
compile when you run the app
2. Go to local drive, or map the UNC to a drive letter (The machine will set
it as local)
3. Separate the UI layer from the back end and run the backend on the other
server (remoting or web services or serviced component)

IIS has never been good at serving apps from another server. What happens if
the web server stays up and the application server goes down? How do you
create a system to handle this without overengineering the rest of the
system? And, how many customers try to serve web apps from a machine that
does not have a web server on it?

Robert,

I am trying to do the EXACT same thing as you. I am get the same
results as you. I have tried many things with no success. If you
figure out the answer, please post it.

Thanks,
Mike S

Robert,

Consider the following Google news group thread. This solved my
problem, which sounds a lot like yours.

[url]http://groups.google.com/groups?hl=en&lr=&ie=UTF-8&oe=UTF-8&threadm=c2e26e6b.0307300709.40f49fe2%40posting.g oogle.com&rnum=1&prev=/groups%3Fhl%3Den%26lr%3D%26ie%3DUTF-8%26oe%3DUTF-8%26q%3Dtestproject4%26meta%3Dgroup%253Dmicrosoft. public.dotnet.framework.aspnet.*[/url]

I don't know if the link will work for you. If not, search the news
group for 'testproject4.Global' and 'could not load type'. You'll
find the thread there. (From July 30th).

Hope this helps you like it did me.

Have fun.

Mike S
