Cannot locate dll even though I put the dll in folder

I add the file to the directory but it is still telling me that it cannot find the file. What am I suppose to do now to fix this error?

I have read the following article http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ff650307.aspx, about how i can authenticate asp.net mvc users from multiple domains, so inside my asp.net mvc i did the following :-
I added the following to my web.config:-
<system.web>

<providers>
<add name="TestDomain1ADMembershipProvider" type="System.Web.Security.ActiveDirectoryMembershipProvider, System.Web, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=b03f5f7f11d50a3a" connectionStringName="TestDomain1ConnectionString" connectionUsername="ad-domainA.intra\it360ad.user" connectionPassword="$$$$$" />
</providers>
</membership>
&
<connectionStrings>
<add name="TestDomain1ConnectionString" connectionString="LDAP://ad-domainA.intra/CN=Users,DC=ad-domainA,DC=intra" />
and i added the following Account.controller:-
[AllowAnonymous]
public ActionResult Login(string returnUrl)
{
ViewBag.ReturnUrl = returnUrl;
return View();
}
//
// POST: /Account/Login
[HttpPost]
[AllowAnonymous]
[ValidateAntiForgeryToken]
public ActionResult Login(LoginModel model, string returnUrl)
{
MembershipProvider domainProvider;
domainProvider = Membership.Providers["TestDomain1ADMembershipProvider"];
// Validate the user with the membership system.
if (domainProvider.ValidateUser(model.UserName, model.Password))
{
if (Request.QueryString["ReturnUrl"] != null)
{
FormsAuthentication.RedirectFromLoginPage(
model.UserName, false);
}
else
{
// If there is no RequestUrl query string attribute, just set

FormsAuthentication.SetAuthCookie(model.UserName, false);
}
}
else
{
ModelState.AddModelError("", "The user name or password provided is incorrect.");
return View(model);

ApplicationHost.CreateApplicationHost: System.IO.FileNotFoundException

I'm trying to use CreateApplicationHost to render the content of an ASP webpage. The exact code is as follows:
public class LocalPageContentAppropriator {
private RemoteDomain _host;
protected RemoteDomain Host {
get {
if (_host == null) {
_host = (RemoteDomain)ApplicationHost.CreateApplicationHost(typeof(RemoteDomain), "/", SettingsFactory.Instance.WebFileRoot + "\\");
}
return _host;
}
}
public string Resolve(string page, string query) {
return Host.ProcessRequest(page, query);
}
}
public class RemoteDomain : MarshalByRefObject {
public string ProcessRequest(string page, string query) {
using (StringWriter sw = new StringWriter()) {
SimpleWorkerRequest work = new SimpleWorkerRequest(page, query, sw);
HttpRuntime.ProcessRequest(work);
return sw.ToString();
}
}
}
The path returned for SettingsFactory.Instance.WebFileRoot points to the website's physical directory. Have tried putting appending "\bin\", etc but regardless of what I try I still receive the same error, even if I intentionally enter an incorrect path.
Now, here's where it gets interesting. Fusion Logging usually returns something like this when the assembly is loaded correctly (under normal use):

Any ideas guys?

I don't now if you get your answer or not, but I'm trying exactly the same thing and had exactly the same problems.
One, and most simple, is to put your assembly inside GAC.
Two, and a little bit tricky, is to copy your assembly to the 'bin' directory inside the directory 'physicalDir' used as parameter to ApplicationHost.CreateApplicationHost method.
It is well explained here: http://www.west-wind.com/Weblog/posts/2613.aspx

The implementation of ApplicationHost.CreateApplicationHost expects to find the assembly of the specified type in one of two places: either in the Global Assembly Cache (GAC) or within the bin directory under the specified physical directory. There is no documented way to change this behavior short of reimplementing CreateApplicationHost. So depending on your project configuration and deployment scenario, you may need to install the assembly into one of these locations.
Please take a look here for more details.
Idealty, your host will be in different assembly (that you deploy under "bin" of your physical server dir).

Updating AssemblyVersion in pre-build task causes test failure

We have a simple task that, before compiling, makes all of our AssemblyInfo.cs files editable, then updates
[assembly: AssemblyVersion("1.0.0.0")]
to
[assembly: AssemblyVersion("1.0.0.<SourceGetVersion>")]
All of our assemblies are signed using the same key.
This kind of thing is probably fairly standard, and it works just fine, except that it causes test failures.
The failures look like this:
Test method
Namespace.Tests.MessageTest.TestMethod
threw exception:
System.IO.FileLoadException: Could not
load file or assembly
'Namespace.BusinessLayer.BusinessComponent.Documents,

PublicKeyToken=xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx' or
one of its dependencies. The located
assembly's manifest definition does
not match the assembly reference.
(Exception from HRESULT: 0x80131040)
So, I turned on the logging that was suggested, and get this:

Now, I may have mixed up the assemblies posting this, but it's the same pattern for all the tests. Mind you, the public keys are all the same, and I can see that all of the revision numbers are the same.
What are we doing wrong?

Try changing the reference assebly to be not version specific. "Secific Version = False" in the properties tab for the assembly.

Why the 'Moq.Proxy.CastleProxyFactory' type initializer exception when using NET40-NoCastle?

So I copied the sample code from the Moq home page pretty much verbatim, and am getting a castle proxy exception.
Here's my code (as a console app for an easier sample)
using System;
using System.Collections.Generic;
using System.Linq;
using System.Text;
using Moq;
namespace MoqTestConsole
{
public interface ILoveThisFramework
{
bool DownloadExists(string s);
}
class Program
{
static void Main(string[] args)
{
Mock<ILoveThisFramework> mock = new Mock<ILoveThisFramework>();
// WOW! No record/replay weirdness?! :)
mock.Setup(framework => framework.DownloadExists("2.0.0.0")).Returns(true);
// Hand mock.Object as a collaborator and exercise it,
// like calling methods on it...
ILoveThisFramework lovable = mock.Object;
bool download = lovable.DownloadExists("2.0.0.0");
// Verify that the given method was indeed called with the expected value
mock.Verify(framework => framework.DownloadExists("2.0.0.0"));
}
}
}
Everything compiles nicely, but when it calls mock.Object The following exception is thrown.
System.TypeInitializationException was unhandled

InnerException:
So it appears to be a Castle Proxy component that's missing, but I'm referencing the binary from the NET40-NoCastle directory.
Latest version of Moq (Moq.4.0.10827)
And I'm new to Moq, so I may be doing something extremely dense.

It turns out the problem was that I was using the NET40-NoCastle binaries, which apparently means you are using Castle Windsor and already have the Castle Windsor binaries in your project. I had the misassumption this directory was for projects that don't use Castle Windsor.
Anyway, bottom line, if you're have this same issue, use the binaries from the NET40 directories instead.
Thanks Ben Alabaster for the answer via Twitter.
