.NET Forum / ASP.NET / General / December 2007Unable to add reference to Microsoft Practices libraries
In my development environment I can add references to the Microsoft Practices libraries and everything works ok. But when I copy the application to the test server I get the message "CS0234: The type or namespace name 'Practices' does not exist in the namespace 'Microsoft' (are you missing an assembly reference?)". A search of the web suggests that I am missing an assembly reference (exactly as the message says). I cannot find any place in the project where the Microsoft Practices libraries are referenced. Other libraries are referenced in the Web.Config file, but not the Microsoft Practices libraries. They are physically copied to a Bin folder instead. How can I get this to work on my test server? How do other people handle this? Thanks! Most likely an install of the Enterprise Library is all that you need. I am not sure, however, as I do not know what you have played with.

And reference them from there, and deploy them with you application. This is the option if you don't want to gac them on every deployment machine. .. Install the library on a development machine. Find (do a search for) Microsoft.Practices.EnterpriseLibrary*.* Copy them (dlls and xmls ) to c:\common\ThirdPartySourceReferences\ (or whatever you want) Have your csproj or vbproj reference them from there. > Does this mean the Enterprise Library needs to be installed on every > computer [quoted text clipped - 32 lines] >> > >> > Thanks! I downloaded the EnterpriseLibrary project from msdn, and installed it. when you run through the installer, it compiles and gac's and creates all the files nicely for you. http://msdn2.microsoft.com/en-us/library/aa480453.aspx > In my development environment I can add references to the Microsoft > Practices [quoted text clipped - 16 lines] > > Thanks! Usually these assemblies are specified through entries in the web.config file. If, for example your entries specifiy strong-named assemblies that may be installed in the GAC and your web-server doesn't have them there, or the versions are different, that would be one cause of this type of issue. -- Peter Site: http://www.eggheadcafe.com UnBlog: http://petesbloggerama.blogspot.com MetaFinder: http://www.blogmetafinder.com > In my development environment I can add references to the Microsoft Practices > libraries and everything works ok.
