Could not load type: 'HelloWorld2.Global'

[Rob Hughes]

I created a HelloWorld app on localhost that just has a textbox,
button and label and it works fine on localhost. I tried to copy the
app to the server and I started getting the 'Could not load type'
error. I've researched the problem on the internet but I can't find
the solution.

- The DLL exists and is in the \bin directory
- machine.config has the <add assembly="*"/> line but just to make
sure, I have tried adding <add assembly="HelloWorld2" /> to
web.config, I also tried <add assembly="*" /> and various combinations
of both but that didn't work

What else should I be looking into?

Hi,

check if the virtual directory configured as application from IIS MMC.

Thanks for the reply, yes it's configured as an application. Pages
work fine if the code is inline, only a problem with code-behind.

I worked with the IT guy for a while yesterday and found out that they
had the physical location of the files on a different server than the
web server. He copied over the files to the machine with the web
server as a test and it worked so it has something to do with the
virtual directory pointing to a different machine. Any ideas on that??
