Type is not resolved for member

Here's the situation, have a library that does all our authentication for applications made from CSLA.

In test project:

• Unit test pass without problem using remoting data portal (either on Cassini or IIS on sepearte machine) fine.
• Unit tests in oder to pass with local data portal required a work around.  I was getting 'Type is not resolved for member pointing to our CSLA principal class implementation.  I implemented a hack and it resolved our unit test issues for local data portal.  As many bugs as we've found in VS2008 testing tools, we chalked it up to just another one.

Now when I'm trying to implment this library in a web service for another application (in order to control who can access it):

• Local data portal - no problem.
• Remote data portal (IIS on a seperate machine) - Type is not resolved for member point to our CSLA principal class implementation.

I read the FAQ on PT and it seems this should only be a problem on Cassini (which we never had), but we're getting it on IIS6 (W2K3 Server).

Our hack for unit testing doesn't work here.  I do not know what to do and I have to get this fixed ASAP because I'm already past my deadline.

 

Thanks!

This was due to the web service that was calling the IIS web service for remote data portal being Cassini.  Make sense.  Can't verify because now the web service calling the remote data portal is telling me another assembly can't be found even though it's in the BIN and I even added it as assembly ref in web.config file too.  Tried to changing to to web-app but of coarse that doesn't work on web service project.  Those 'web-site' projects are the worst idea ever....shadow paths, reference problems; man things were much easier to deploy in 1.1.
