Trouble Creating .NET Object

[fshin]

Any ideas what to do here? I don't know what to put in the assemble attribute. I don't know any .net at all actually....



I get this error: Class System.DirectoryServices.DirectoryEntry not found in the specified assembly list.
The assembly that contains the class must be provided to the assembly attribute.

You put the path to the EXE / DLL file(s)

Yea, check out the assembly attribute in the cfobject tag. It's also in the arguments list in the createobject() function. Depends on which way you like better to instantiate objects.

You can use the direct path to the assemly, i.e. "<cfobject ...assembly="c:\dlls\test.dll">" or if you don't include the absolute path it'll look in the global assembly cache (which you can register custom .DLLs with the gacutil.exe) or in the $CF_HOME\WEB-INF\cfclasses\dotNetProxy directory. I just tend to drop the dll's in the dotNetProxy directory and add the filename to the assembly tag. So in your case, copy the system.directoryservices.dll from your c:\WINDOWS\Microsoft.NET\Framework\version\ directory to the dotNetProxy directory and all will be good.
