Namespace not found

[nicklieb]

error CS0246: The type or namespace name 'xxx.Custom.TreeNavigator' could not be found (are you missing a using directive or an assembly reference?)

this is driving me bonkers.

before you say it, the spellings are correct, and i have checked and rechecked this issue and the spellings are exactly the same, the project compile and run properly through my vs2008.

I am developing customisation usercontrols that hook into an off the shelf CMS system. the Controls are imported into the app and I have developed a couple of dlls. I simply drop the compiled dlls in the deployed bin folder and they are automtically picked up and ready to used by the app.

Today i made a change to one of those dlls and tested in on the staging server, works fine, when i deployed to live, i get the above error. It was always been working properly but today it's throwing a wobbly....

I have reset iss, to try and clear the cache, deleted and recreated the site, rolled back to previous version of the dll, but it still the same error message.


thank... (having a bad friday )

Is the new version of the dll in the GAC? The C:\Windows\Assembly folder of the web server(s)?

no they're not in the GAC, as i don't want it to be a server wide available dll. It's only relevant to this particulare application, hence it only included in the local bin folder.
