Problem - Could not load file or assembly

Question

I was trying to build a social networking site from ASP.NET 3.5 Social Networking book. When I run the code I see the following problems:

System.IO.FileNotFoundException: Could not load file or assembly 'Fisharoo.FisharooWeb' 
or one of its dependencies. The system cannot find the file specified.

Source Error:
         {
             _view = view;
             _accountService = ObjectFactory.GetInstance();
             _redirector = ObjectFactory.GetInstance();
         }

and

[FileNotFoundException: Could not load file or assembly 'Fisharoo.FisharooWeb' 
or one of its dependencies. The system cannot find the file specified.]

[StructureMapException: StructureMap Exception Code:  101

Hope it has simple solution

Hi there.

Looks like you're missing an assembly file named Fisharoo.FisharooWeb.dll. Does the book have a companion CD/DVD, or a website where you can download the sample source code? Basically you need to get a copy of the missing file and put it in the bin folder of your website, or the global assembly cache (C:\Windows\Assembly), depending on the instructions given in the book.

Here's a link that might help. Apparently the book's appendix has instructions on how to setup the code.

Hope this helps. Jas.
