We just purchased Aspose. Since we're ASP and .NET programmers here only, we created a virtual file on IIS that points to the Aspose WFVB file on the server's C drive, but we get this error message on the browser:
Server Error in '/Aspose.PowerPoint.WFVB.Template' Application.
Parser Error
Description: An error occurred during the parsing of a resource required to service this request. Please review the following specific parse error details and modify your source file appropriately.
Parser Error Message: Could not load type 'Aspose.PowerPoint.WFVB.Template.Global'.
Source Error:
Line 1: <%@ Application Codebehind="Global.asax.vb" Inherits="Aspose.PowerPoint.WFVB.Template.Global" %>
It might help to let you know that our Web Server (IIS) has the usual system files in the C: drive and the actual Web files in a I: drive...not an unusual setup. The Aspose files from the original download and install were to the C: drive. Should we reinstall Aspose and have the files go to the I: drive?
I ask this because I did as instructed and, alas, once again, got the initial error message on this thread.
Thanks again for your help, BTW, we're determined to get Aspose running.
An update: I tried the re-install on the I drive and the Aspose tool still brings up the error message quoted above. We’re at a standstill now and we would really appreciate some help.
UPDATE: We just talked to an Aspose user, Randy Kemp.
He suggested that rather than go with the virtual Web folder route, that we instead create a reference to the Aspose .DLL and then reference it as a namespace in VB.NET coding--he said that should evoke the Aspose .DLL with no errors.
He said he does this and it work fine for him.
We'd appreciate any tips on doing this. As we've said before, we're rather new to DOT.NET.
