In this multi-tiered project,  in one of the layers I create an instance to a class.

Using VB and VS.Net 2005

It is returning Nothing!!!

Public Shared Function Create() As myProject.IDAL.IAccessRequest 'look up the DAL implementation to use Dim path As String = System.Configuration.ConfigurationManager.AppSettings("WebDAL") Dim className As String = path + ".AccessRequest" 'create class instance Return CType(Assembly.Load(path).CreateInstance(className), myProject.IDAL.IAccessRequest) End Function

The line in C# that has no problems is this:

//create class instance return ( myProject.IDAL.IAccessRequest ) Assembly.Load ( path ).CreateInstance( className );

So, I am thinking that it was converted wrong.

Suggestions?

Thanks all,

Ok, I found the problem.

It's a VS.Net 2005 issue/change

In 2003, I usually put my class libraries in the project folder itself, in the wwwroot/projectName folder.

This made it easier when using VSS.
But, in 2005, you can't exclude from project these new folders which show up in the web project.

So, I did a test class and put it in the default mydocs/vsprojects folder, copied and pasted the classes, added new references and it worked!!!!
