I want MyHandler installed in GAC to be applied to all applications hosted on IIS.
I made it work for particular application when I add Managed Handler on global level
<add name="MyHandler" path="*.txt" verb="*" type="MyHandlerAssembly.MyHandler" resourceType="Unspecified" preCondition="integratedMode" />
and .dll to /bin directory of particular apllication. At this point all works as expected excluding that I am not about add this .dll to each apllication.
So I added MyHandlerAssembly to GAC and then I modified type according to gacutil -l MyHandler:
<add name="MyHandler" path="*.txt" verb="*" type="MyHandlerAssembly.MyHandler, MyHandlerAssembly, Version=1.0.0.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=8a3126c79b7aa959" resourceType="Unspecified" preCondition="integratedMode" />
And I receiving error:
System.IO.FileLoadException: The given assembly name or codebase was invalid. (Exception from HRESULT: 0x80131047)
With stacktrace:
[FileLoadException: The given assembly name or codebase was invalid. (Exception from HRESULT: 0x80131047)]

What I am doing wrong? Thanks.
UPDATE 1.
Also tried to add my assembly to C:\Windows\Microsoft.NET\Framework64\v4.0.30319\Config\web.config but received error:
Could not load file or assembly 'MyHandlerAssembly, Version=1.0.0.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=8a3126c79b7aa959' or one of its dependencies. The system cannot find the file specified.
After adding assembly to GAC for applying changes need to restart IIS. So complete solution is:
Add assembly with module to GAC by executing gacutil.exe -i path_to_project\bin\MyHandlerAssembly.dll
Restart IIS
Add Handler Mapping of type MyHandlerAssembly.MyHandler, MyHandlerAssembly, Version=X.X.X.X, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=XXXXXXXXXXXXXXX(new types from your assembly will be available after IIS restart)

I am struggling to find the problem, I have removed all ServiceStack components and added again.
When I check the references in my project it is correct.
I also tried to load the latest version Servicestack.NLog 4.0.43
but when I try to add in my project the error below comes up:
I am using the versions:
Servicestack 4.0.43
Servicestack.Logging.NLog 4.0.42
NLog 3.2.0.0
I can build the application, but it shows the error below:

This should be fixed with the latest version on MyGet. Since you already have v4.0.43 installed you'll need to clear your NuGet Cache and delete your /packages folder to download the latest version.
I have created a simple WebApi project that doesn't reference MVC and everything and doesn't require Owin or anything that I don't yet understand.
It runs OK on IIS Express, but once I deploy to cloud it says
"Could not load file or assembly 'Microsoft.Owin' or one of its dependencies. The located assembly's manifest definition does not match the assembly reference. (Exception from HRESULT: 0x80131040)"
There is no reference to Owin anywhere.
OK. I added Owin package, but NuGet has only 2.0.2.0 package at the moment, but for some reason it requires 3.0.0.0.

I finally fixed that by
Adding Owin package
Explicitly Owin binding to version 2.0.1.0
Removing Owin from Startup.
But that is something I just don't understand. (Started happening after I updated Visual Studio 2013 to Update 4)
OWIN is the standard interface between .NET web servers and web applications used by Microsoft since they went "fully" open-source with the ASP.NET Web Stack. I think that the OWIN Package became mandatory for ASP.NET WEB.API projects since Visual Studio 2013 Update 4.
You can find more info on OWIN here: http://coding.abel.nu/2014/05/whats-this-owin-stuff-about/
I have a website developed in Sitefinity 6.3 that is deployed on windows Azure (website deployed in Cloud Service). Now I have upgraded the project to sitefinity 7.0 as mentioned on their migration page.
Project upgraded successfully, and I followied the steps to remove & add References, but then I ran the project & it showed me following error:

<assemblyIdentity name="Microsoft.WindowsAzure.ServiceRuntime" culture="neutral" publicKeyToken="31bf3856ad364e35" />
<bindingRedirect oldVersion="0.0.0.0-2.3.0.0" newVersion="2.2.0.0" />
</dependentAssembly>
</assemblyBinding
I also copied the related dlls in bin folder & added reference to project.
But nothing seemed to work for me, Please let me know where am I going wrong?
Edit: ------------------------
Thanks [DrewG] for sharing important info.
I followed all the steps as DrewG mentioned. Then I got error when I ran the project in Visual Studio for Post Build task, then I removed that task & Changed following setting in web.config:
<bindingRedirect oldVersion="0.0.0.0-2.3.0.0" newVersion="2.2.0.0"/>
to
<bindingRedirect oldVersion="0.0.0.0-2.5.0.0" newVersion="2.2.0.0"/>
Then it run perfectly, Then I removed the References folder, then It also run perfectly.
Now, I could not recognise wht was fixed by DrewG's steps, but after reverting all the steps it's working correct. I would like to know what might be fixed?
Thanks
I had a similar problem caused from running the project locally. It's trying to load the 64 bit version of that dll (msshrtmi.dll).
Azure is wanting the 64 bit version of the .dll but you either need to use the 32bit version when you run locally or you need to setup a site in IIS with a 64bit app pool to be able to test locally.
I came up with a bit of a hack to get this to work on our azure sites but it has been working before and after an upgrade to Sitefinity 7 so maybe it will help you out.
I copied the 64bit and 32bit msshrtmi.dll files to a folder named References in the same directory as the .sln file. Then I wrote a quick .bat file and added it as a Post Build Task for the project that passes my current build profile.
Note: I have a Build profile with the name "Azure" that I use to update some other settings rather than using Thunder. The Azure build profile is basically just a copy of Release, but I like to test Release builds locally too.
Build task looks like this
call $(SolutionDir)References\AZURE.bat $(ConfigurationName) $(SolutionDir)
AZURE.bat file looks like this
If %1 == Azure echo "Copying 64bit version of msshrtmi.dll"
If %1 == Azure copy %2\References\64\msshrtmi.dll %2\YourProject\Bin\msshrtmi.dll
If NOT %1 == Azure echo "Copying 32bit version of msshrtmi.dll"
If NOT %1 == Azure copy %2\References\32\msshrtmi.dll %2\YourProject\Bin\msshrtmi.dll
I have created a DLL with C++/CLI in order to wrap some unmanaged C++ code (e.g. boost). This work quite fine as long as I
put all dependent DLLs into one folder and
propagate via %PATH% environment that folder to the IIS (requires a restart of the system).
However Microsoft states that it should be enough to put all dependencies within the bin directory under the application path. This ends up with saying the following:

Is there any possibility to tell the IIS a specific path just for this application, e.g. via web.config. I think on production systems it would not be very wise to make all these libraries via %PATH% systemwide available. At least it would be interesting which DLL could not be found (I know about dependency walker, but due to the fact that all DLLs are in the same directory it does not complain about any missing file).
I wanted to execute function from C++ DLL which resides in subfolder of 'bin', and on IIS i had to add my web application to AppPool with ADMIN rights. After that, it loads without errors, in common AppPool it won't load (execute) properly.
I have a problem starting a Web Application of mine, which runs under IIS 8.

Now, I do have this RegexAssemblyBuilder.exe file in my solution and if I paste it into the bin folder and refresh the page everything works. It is also very likely that there is some issue about the calling assembly which looks for this file, and I have already informed my colleagues about that (I didn't develop it...). In the meantime, to make it work, and for future knowledge, I would like to know if there is the chance to tell IIS not to resolve this binding (which by the way I never use). I can't remove the calling .dll though.
Thank you
You could just set the Build Action to Content and then set Copy To Output Directory to Copy Always to have this assembly added to the bin directly at all tiimes. Otherwise, you could remove the reference to the executable from the project properties, or check to make sure that there is no mention of it in the web.config file. There is no method to prevent IIS from binding to an assembly when it is referenced inside a project. IIS builds up all the referenced assemblies when it does its initial compilation on the first request of the application.
