Problems using __code reference in healthMonitoring/eventMappings

[Guest]

Hi,

Has anyone experienced problems when deploying a web app via VS2005 with
regards health monitoring configuration settings in the web.config? I get a
"could not load file or assembly '__code' or one of its dependencies" error
messege on compilation/deployment.

Here's the config, from the web.config:

<healthMonitoring enabled="true">
<eventMapping>
<add name="Generic Error Handling" type="ErrorHandling, __code"/>
</eventMapping>
<rules>
<add name="Generic Error Handling" eventName="Generic Error Handling"
provider="EventLogProvider"/>
</rules>
</healthMonitoring>

ErrorHandling is a class held in the App_Code directory.

All works ok when I fire up the page with the 'View in browser' option, i.e
when the app fires up in the VS2005 built in virtual web server, but just
won't deploy to the real IIS6 web server, which is on the same local server.

Any help would be much appreciated

P.S. I'm using Visual Studio 2005 Professional Edition (Version 8.0.50727.42
RTM.050727-4200)

Yeah, there's some compilation dependency problem in ASP.NET. I've found
that if you comment out the <healthMoniroting> section, run a page, then
uncomment the section again it's all good. Like I said, something about the
app is getting loaded and something in the initialization reads that setting
and needs that class before the initialization has compiled App_Code. Your
best bet would be to not put your WebEvents in App_Code
