I have a virtual directory. Virtual directory has web.config and folder bin with dll inside.


  <appSettings />
    <connectionStrings />
    <add verb="*" path="*.jpg" type="RS_Thumbnails.ImageResizeHandler, RS_Thumbnails.dll" validate="false" />

bin has RS_Thumbnails.dll file. But this dll can't be found:

Parser Error Message: Could not load file or assembly 'RS_Thumbnails.dll' or one of its dependencies. The system cannot find the file specified.

How to correct configure IIS?

Or one of it's dependencies... does it have dependencies? –  Schwarzie2478 Mar 19 '12 at 14:43
this dll has none dependencies –  Oleg Sh Mar 19 '12 at 14:47
Is the dotNet version of the assembly different that that of the application pool in IIS? Is the dll built for X86 or any CPU? on 64bit or not. is the dll in the bin folder under the website. –  Schwarzie2478 Mar 19 '12 at 16:16
the same dotnet version, etc. dll exists only in "child", virtual directory, not in the "bin" root folder of application (it worked under IIS 6, if I put to root folder I have a conflict with another dll). I need to put to "bin" folder of virtual directory –  Oleg Sh Mar 20 '12 at 9:27
Maybe you can try to deploy your application from Visual Studio, it will create a second site on your local IIS with the structure it expects to be installed with. –  Schwarzie2478 Mar 21 '12 at 8:49
