Hello, I have an assembly containing a mixture of Managed and unmanaged C++ code. I have signed it and installed into Global Assembly Cache. My program (.Net, C#) won't find it there, although it worked perfectly well when the assembly was in the program directory. The program uses DllImport and pinvoke to call the methods from the asse...

Hi, I'm using a VS 2008 Setup and Deployment project to deploy a mixed managed / unmanaged application. I've had trouble registering mixed-mode DLL's using the built-in registration property ("vsdraCOM" enumerated value of the "Register" property.)

I currently have 3 servers each running different applications. Occasionally through installation misconfiguration and code re-factoring these machines are left with assemblies in the GAC that are no longer being referenced or used by anything. Are there any tools anybody is aware of to monitor / log how often, or when certain assembli...
Hello I have a question about support for DEVPATH (http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/cskzh7h6.aspx) in the future. As I have read Microsoft considered deprecating it in the past but decided not to. Do you know if there are plans of deprecating it in .NET 4.0 or further? Or is it going to be supported? Thank You Kuzu ...
When a .NET assembly is deployed to the GAC and the destination file is locked, Windows holds it in what I can best guess is some sort of 'assembly purgatory' - c:\windows\assembly\temp. Using Process Explorer these can easily be seen when searching for the suspect DLL: As soon as I end the process locking the file (in this case OWST...

Anybody out there have experience testing "out of process assemblies"? I'm testing some Com+ (Serviced Component) and WCF services configured to be activated out of process and I'm not sure what the best practices are for testing in these situations.
