@Assembly

J

Jim Heavey

I am trying to figure out the @Assembly directive.

I have an application which uses "codebehind" and only uses source code, so I
am using the "src=" option of the @Page directive. So I have something that
looks like the following:

ASPX Files ASPX.VB Files
Page1.aspx Page1.aspx.vb
Page2.aspx Page2.aspx.vb
Page3.aspx Page3.aspx.vb

Now all of these three pages have a common program, let's call it "Common.vb"
which is called from Page1.aspx.vb, Page2.aspx.vb, Page2.aspx.vb.

When I run using the @Page src="Pag1.aspx.vb" inherits="Page1", when
Page1.aspx.vb instatiates the "Common.vb" I get a compile error indicating
that the class can not be found.

If I copy "Common.vb" and append it to "Page1.aspx.vb"... then no problem, it
works just fine.

I am trying to find a way to enable these pages to find "Common.vb" without me
having to copy the source into each of these pages.

I have taken to "Common.vb" and created a seperate project, and compiled it
and placed the code in the "bin" folder, but still not luck.

Looking at the @Assembly option, it would appear to me that this may allow the
assembly to be found, but no matter what I put into this directive, even
garbage, it has not effect. It has a "src=" option which indicates that the
specified program will be compiled on the fly.

So any ideas as to what I need to do to enable the program to be found and
compiled on the fly? Or for that matter, found in the "bin" folder? Although
I believe it will look in the "Bin" folder for the "folder" which is
identified as an "application folder" and unfortuneatly the folder that I am
executing from is not an application folder and nor do I have access to the
folder which is the application folder to place my compiled program into.

Your assistance would be greatly appreciated!!!!!!!!!!!
