COM Object isnot released from memory when referenced from ASP page

[dellyjm]

Howdy folks.

I'm having a problem with a COM DLL that I wrote to be used by an ASP page and a VB client app.

The object is used and released in VB client app, if there are any changes i just uncheck reference and then recompile COM DLL. If i used the object in ASP i get a Permission denied error when I try to recompile it.

Could someone tell me how i could force the release of this object from memory so that i can recompile it?

Try Process Isolation.

"If you are a component developer, you get another bonus. Normally, when you try to recompile a DLL that's in use by IIS, you will get a Permission Denied error message. Unfortunately, the workaround requires stopping and restarting the Web service. However, when your Web application is isolated, you can simply unload it through the ISM so that you can recompile your DLL. To unload your parent MTX.EXE process for your Web application, bring up your Web application's properties through the ISM and click the Unload button."

Semi-related to this - I find when I register a DLL at home and use it in ASP pages (through PWS), I have to restart my computer (after unregistering the DLL) to be able to delete/recompile the DLL file. Any easy-outs for that? codestorm

If you are using Interdev there may be times where you have to shut it down and start it again after creating your COM dll.

Hope this helps a little.
