Hello

I am trying to import a dll from within a webservice. At the call of the dll function, a DllNotFoundException exception is thrown. I have tried to putting the dll in the web service directory, putting the dll in the system32 directory, specifying the full path for the DllImport function. I always get the same error. Any ideas of how I can get around the problem
Cheers

I think that what's happening is a problem of file access security. Change
the permission of your dll in order to Everyone can read/execute, if that
solve the problem, then remove Everyone and set the correct rights for the
users ASPNET, IUSR_Machinenam, etc. If your DLL code access other objects
such as registry or other files, you must take care of security in that
objects too.
