Windows Service

[User 4264148]

I have developed a windows service in C#, however, when I start the service. I get the error detailed below. Can anyone help solve this problem? Could not load file or assembly 'MySql.Data, Version=1.0.7.30072' or one of its dependencies. The system cannot find the file specified.

Hi, I guess you implemented something with MySql. The service needs the assembly "MySql.Data.dll" within the GAC. Try to register the assembly there and your service will start (hopefully). Regards Sebastian

It's not a bug, it's a feature! Check out my CodeProject article Permission-by-aspect. Me in Softwareland.

Thanks for ur reply. How do I Install MySql.Data.dll in gac. When I tried using gacutil -i MySql.Data.dll, got an error "Attempt to install an assembly without a strong name"
