Is it possible to reference a private assembly in asp .net from a sub-folder that is not
setup as a virtual directory? In other words, my page is
setup in ~/subdir, I don't have access to ~/, and I am not an IIS admin. Can I reference a private assembly? How would I do this? I've tried <%@ Assembly Src="/subdir/bin/Assembly.dll % and <%@ Assembly Src="/subdir/bin/Assembly.dll % , but I get the messages "There is no build provider to match the extension .dll" or "Failed to map to path" respectively.
Here is my folder structure:
/
| -subdir
| | - Bin
| | | *Assembly.dll
| | *Default.aspx
I've heard that in web.config might do the trick, but when I've tried it, it doesn't seem to work. Furthermore, I've read that only works in the application .config file. (i.e., the one in ~/). Anyhow, I already tried adding the following to web.config:
<runtime>
<assemblyBinding xmlns="urn:schemas-microsoft-com:asm.v1">
<probing privatePath="/subdir/bin" />
<dependentAssembly>
<codeBase href="/subdir/bin/Assembly.dll"/>
</dependentAssembly>
</assemblyBinding>
For more background on my problem, I am simply using a shared host, all I have is access to is that subdirectory, and I am trying to use fckeditor.
