Hi,

I am writing a demo system of applications that uses all aspects of
component services and I am having some problems with my
ServicedComponents\COM+ aspect.

The Error Is:

File or assembly name CompanyNameDataObject, or one of its
dependencies, was not found.

System.IO.FileNotFoundException: File or assembly name
CompanyNameDataObject, or one of its dependencies, was not found.
File name: "CompanyNameDataObject"

Name) in D:\Development\Source Code\Project\Company

The Assembly Setup:

CLIENT
(GAC) CompanyNameGenericLibrary.DLL
(Dependency:None)

(GAC/PROXY) CompanyNameCOMServices.DLL

(Client) CompanyNameCustomerServicesClient.EXE
(Dependency: CompanyNameGenericLibrary.DLL)
(Dependency: CompanyNameCOMServices.DLL)

SERVER
(GAC) CompanyNameGenericLibrary.DLL
(Dependency: None)

(GAC) CompanyNameDataObject.DLL
(Dependency: CompanyNameGenericLibrary.DLL)

(GAC/COM+) CompanyNameCOMServices.DLL
(Dependency: CompanyNameDataObject.DLL)

As you can see only CompanyNameCOMServices.DLL requires
CompanyNameDataObject.DLL referenced on the server, yet the error is
asking the client to have CompanyNameDataObject.DLL installed on the
client GAC (which works when installed) but I do not want to expose
CompanyNameDataObject.DLL on the client, I wish and expected it to
remain behind the COM+ wall.

Any ideas ?

Thanks.
