asp.net webcontrols : how to user GACUTIL -i to install the WEBCONTROLS ?
I need to install the Microsoft.Web.UI.WebControls on a new server. I have done all the steps to build the controls, created the requested folder, then placed the .dll and image files over there, but I can't use the controls. Whenever I issue the gacutil -l Microsoft.web.ui.webcontrols command, I get this a result: ********************************************************** Microsoft (R) .NET Global Assembly Cache Utility.

Hi Samuel,
To install Microsoft.Web.UI.WebControls, you may follow these process: To build the IE Web Controls: 1. Make sure you have installed the .NET Framework SDK v1.0 or v1.1 2. Run Build.bat, which will create a build folder in this directory. The build folder contains Microsoft.Web.UI.WebControls.dll and a Runtime directory of supporting files. To run the IE Web Controls: 1. Copy the contents of the Runtime directory to the webctrl_client\1_0 directory under your top-level site directory. For example, if your site root is c:\Inetpub\wwwroot, type this at the command prompt: xcopy /s /i .\build\Runtime c:\Inetpub\wwwroot\webctrl_client\1_0 /y This will create the following directory structure under the site: /webctrl_client/1_0 MultiPage.htc TabStrip.htc toolbar.htc treeview.htc webservice.htc webserviced.htc [images] [treeimages] 2. Create a new web application in IIS and copy the contents of the samples directory to this application directory. For example: xcopy /s /i .\samples c:\Inetpub\wwwroot\sampleapp /y 3. Create a /bin subdirectory for the application and copy the file Microsoft.Web.UI.WebControls.dll to this directory. The contents of the application will be as follows: /sampleapp multipage.aspx state_city.xml tabstrip.aspx toolbar.aspx treeview.aspx treeview_bound.aspx /bin Microsoft.Web.UI.WebControls.dll 4. Request the sample pages from your Internet Explorer web browser, for example: http://localhost/sampleapp/multipage.aspx For additional documentation and samples visit: http://msdn.microsoft.com/library/default.asp?url=/workshop/webcontrols/webc ontrols_entry.asp Luke Microsoft Online Support Get Secure! www.microsoft.com/security (This posting is provided "AS IS", with no warranties, and confers no rights.)
Luke,
Thank you, but what you sent me is the same procedure we found with the installer - what is not working for us. What would be helpful is the manual procedure to install the Microsoft.Web.UI.WebControls. Whenever we run the GACUTIL -l Microsoft.Web.UI.WebControls we get "no entries" as a result - what means that the dll wasn't installed successfully. I appreciate if you can find the correct parameters we need to send to the GACUTIL utility. Thanks in advance, Sam [quoted text, click to view] >-----Original Message-----

Hi Sam,
GACUTIL is used for installing an assembly to GAC. And the Assembly must have a strong name first. Microsoft.Web.UI.WebControls.dll doesn't have a strong name by default and we can't add it to GAC. Additionally, to use the Microsoft.Web.UI.WebControls, we don't need to add it to GAC. Luke Microsoft Online Support Get Secure! www.microsoft.com/security (This posting is provided "AS IS", with no warranties, and confers no rights.)
Luke,
I'm sorry but your answer does not provide what I need. There is something wrong with the installation procedure you sent me (actualy, it is the same that comes with the "product") - and it didn't work for us here. By any chance, do you have other ideas on how to make the WEBCONTROLS visible/accessible to the application ? On my PC it is working fine...

Hi Sam,
What is the error when you use a treeview control on the special web server which failed to install webcontrols? Maybe we can get some clue from the error message. Luke Microsoft Online Support Get Secure! www.microsoft.com/security (This posting is provided "AS IS", with no warranties, and confers no rights.)
Hi Luke.
Lets address this a little bit differently. When using the samples, everything works properly, but when I upload an application that was written using the webcontrols, it does not. The following output was taken from the uploaded application, when running on the production server. Again, when I run this from my XP desktop it does not produce any error. My understanding is that I can develop an application and just FTP it to the server... but it looks like I need to tweak it a little bit. I don't know what its missing. Could you help me with that?

Is the file "Microsoft.Web.UI.WebControls.dll " in the BIN folder of the
web application? Luke Microsoft Online Support Get Secure! www.microsoft.com/security (This posting is provided "AS IS", with no warranties, and confers no rights.)
Luke,
No the "Microsoft.Web.UI.WebControls.dll" file is not in the BIN folder, but I made a reference to it (pointing to C:\Inetpub\wwwroot\webctrl_client\1_0 \Microsoft.Web.UI.WebControls.dll) so this wouldn't be a problem. The problem looks like being on the very first part of the HTML code, as it is the line that comes in RED when IIS tries to execute the page with the webcontrols: <%@ Register TagPrefix="iewc" Namespace="Microsoft.Web.UI.WebControls" Assembly="Microsoft.Web.UI.WebControls, Version=1.0.2.226, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=31bf3856ad364e35" %> the following code is the one I have running on the development machine - and runs w/o problems: <%@ Register TagPrefix="iewc" Namespace="Microsoft.Web.UI.WebControls" Assembly="Microsoft.Web.UI.WebControls, Version=1.0.2.226, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=31bf3856ad364e35" %> as you can see, they are identical - but in my machine the code runs - while on the PRODUCTION server it comes back with the error we're strugling with.

Luke,
after my last message I did the following changes: 1) I copied the "Microsoft.Web.UI.Webcontrols.dll" file from the other folder to the BIN folder of this site. 2) I removed the reference to the file from the other directory and then created a new one pointng to the .dll file in the Bin folder. The following error message came back from the same page with the webcontrols (lines between ****). The error is on the line 2 (red font) ********************************************************* Parser Error Description: An error occurred during the parsing of a resource required to service this request.

HI Sam,
Can you explain more on the second step: 2) I removed the reference to the file from the other directory and then created a new one pointng to the .dll file in the Bin folder. How did you perform it? I think it is unnexessary for the problem. Normally, the assembly will locate its run folder for references file. Luke Microsoft Online Support Get Secure! www.microsoft.com/security (This posting is provided "AS IS", with no warranties, and confers no rights.)
I basicaly performed the following steps:
1) opened the project 2) went to the solution explorer window 3) opened the 'references' folder 3.1) there was an item 'Microsoft.WEB.UI.WebControls' 3.2) selected it and removed it from the project 4) opened a Windows Explorer 4.1) navigated to the folder where I have the webcontrols samples working 4.2) pasted the 'Microsoft.WEB.UI.WebControls' file 4.3) navigated to this project folder 4.4) went to the BIN subfolder 4.5) copied the (pasted) file above into it. 5) run the application 6) Made a copy of the problems and submitted to you. Is there any way you can scale this request to someone else? The basic problem here is: a) my machine (development) has the same configuration as far as software installed (.net) b) both machines have the same 'Microsoft.WEB.UI.WebControls' files c) when I copy the application (that's running on my machine) to the production one, the outcome of operation is not working. I mean, just by copying all files in the application is not making it work. If you follow the last message I sent you, I put the beginning of the page with the problem.. by looking at it, you would be able to understand what's going on... If we see that I opened the case about a month ago... it is realy sad that you can't provide me a route to fix it. Thanks in advance, Sam [quoted text, click to view] >-----Original Message-----

Hi Sam,
I think it is not necessary to remove the reference "Microsoft.Web.UI.WebControls" from the list. We only need to set its "Copy Local" to True and it will access the "Microsoft.Web.UI.WebControls.DLL" in the BIN folder at runtime. I think you first need to confirm the "Microsoft.Web.UI.WebControls.dll" is in the BIN folder and its version is 1.0.2.226.
