I created a Service.svc file for IIS hosting, but I get a
FileNotFoundException:

"Could not load file or assembly 'XXX' or one of its dependencies"

The XXX, of course, represents the valid DLL name and is correct. The
appropriate DLL is in the bin folder. I double-checked the IIS settings for
the vdir and there is a * to indicate assemblies in the bin folder. My svc
file looks like this:



<%@ServiceHost language=c# Debug="true" Service="MyService.Service" %>
<%@Assembly Name="MyServiceAssembly" %>

I couldn't tell for sure if I should include the assembly in the Service
attribute (type comma assembly) or in the Assembly element as shown above.
If I move the assembly name to the Service attribute, I get:

"The type 'XXX,YYY', provided as the Service attribute value in the
ServiceHost directive could not be found."

What should I do?


Thanks!

I had the same problem, configure your project in VS2005, set the
output path to the project at bin\ and not at bin\debug and try
again.

Thanks for the response! I actually do have the project building to bin\
rather than bin\debug. I realized the problem though. In IIS 7 (this is in
Vista) there is a separate option to Create Virtual Directory vs. Create
Application. I needed to create a web application. Now all is good!
