RE: CS0006: Metadata file could not be found

[Yan-Hong Huang[MSFT]]

Hello Geir,

Thanks for posting in the group.

Based on my experience, the error CS0006 occurs when we are using xxx.dll.
However, this dll with the correct version is not found inthe bin directory
or GAC. From the error message, we could also see that the runtime is
looking for a dll that belongs to the application, but cannot find it.

Please try the following methods first to see if it helps:

1) Restart IIS.

2) Rebuild the whole solution rather than just a build.

3) Put the assembly DLL into GAC and test to see if the problem happens.

If the problem is still not resolved, could you please provide the
following information?

1) Which type of project are you developing? ASP.NET web app or ASP.NET web
service app?

2) Which type of DLL are you using? A signed assmbly, a private strong name
assembly or just a normal assembly?

3) Any detailed info on the project reference structure and repro steps are
also appreciated.

Hope that helps.

Best regards,
Yanhong Huang

[Geir Sanne]

i did gacutil /i filename on all .dll files in the bin-dir under the
web-service and when i recompiled it WORKED.

what i dont understand is why.

ive installed a OPC XML sample code from opcfoundation.org and the
example code works fine and the sample web-service didnt need the
.dll-files put into the gac to work.

all i did was make my own web-service, copy the .dll-files and the
.asmx-files into my web-service.

the .dll-files are .net components that access COM opc .dlls. Does that
mean its signed ?

 

[David Archuleta]

Hi Yan-Hong,

I have the same issue.

my ASP.Net Web App references two dlls that are located in a "/dll"
directory within the web virtual directory. The dlls do include strong
names, but are not added to the GAC. The solution also includes 2 project
references to dlls without strong names. So the overall structure looks
something like:

Project A (ASP.Net web app)
Project Ref to Project B
Project Ref to Project C
Ref to dll1
Ref to dll2
/dll folder
dll1 (strong name) dependant on dll3 and dll4
dll2 (strong name) dependant on dll3 and dll4
dll3 (strong name)
dll4 (strong name)
Project B (code library dll)
Project C (Web Control library dll)


I have found that anytime I change any of the code in Project A, B, or C,
then either Run (F5) or Build then Run, I get the error page described by
Geir.

I can then Rebuild the Solution and Run it and it works fine.
If I add dll1, dll2, dll3, dll4 to the GAC I do not see the problem.

This issue is being seen on other developers machines and after any number
of restarts (iis or computer).

Is this configuration dependant on the GAC?

Thanks,
David Archuleta

[Yan-Hong Huang[MSFT]]

Hello David,

Based on KB artilce "http://support.microsoft.com/?id=324519", signed
assemblies in the Bin directory are not supported. So placing it in GAC
should be better.

Thanks.

Hello Geir,

Thanks for the quick response.

Signed assembly here means a strong name assembly. For details on strong
name assembly in .NET framework, please refer to MSDN topic "Strong-Named
Assemblies" at
http://msdn.microsoft.com/library/en-us/cpguide/html/cpconstrong-namedassemb
lies.asp?frame=true.

In ASP.NET, signed(strong name) assemblies in the Bin directory are not
supported. It may cause some unexpected behaviors. (that may explain why
OPC works, since all the behaviors are unexpected here) Please refer to
http://support.microsoft.com/?id=324519> for details. I think the problem
is caused by that. So I suggest you put it in GAC and rebuild the project.

Anyway, I am glad that the problem is gone now. If you have any more
concerns, please feel free to post here. Thanks very much for participating
the community.

!the .dll-files are .net components that access COM opc .dlls. Does that
