    Here's what I have:

    A web service application.

     

    I build development in the Visual Studio Environment. The code works.

    I copy the development dlls to staging and the code doesn't work.

     

    I build the code on our build server and deploy to staging the code doesn't work.

    I copy the build server dlls to development and the code works.

     

    What doesn't work is the primary DLL is searching for a project referenced DLL.

     

    Using PROCMON on staging I can see that it sees the project referenced dll (say B.dll) but somehow it doesn't use that dll when it creates the temporary ASP.NET files.

    If I place B.dll into c:\windows\system32\inetsrv The code works.

     

    I've spent 2 days on this problem and I'm out of places to look.

     

    Any thoughts?

    I love it when you post and then have an "ah-ha" moment....

     

    I was compiling the project on the build server. I tried to compile the solution and I now have a more solid error:

                    CSC : error CS0006: Metadata file 'XXX.dll' could not be found

    The solution is structured as:

                   Proj A

    Solution---

                   Proj B

     

    Proj A has a project reference to Proj B in its .csproj file of ..\proj B

    The compiler builds proj B and then resolves the project reference in A to 'proj A\proj B'

    But I still don't know what I'm doing wrong.
