Use ILDASM.EXE on the managed assembly DLL that you are adding to
identify its dependent managed assemblies. If some of the managed
assemblies are merely proxy stubs that require Win32, you will see
that in the stub assemblies as you drill into it, and you can chase
down that DLL's native code dependencies with...
Use DEPENDS.EXE on any native code DLLs that are involved to identify
its native code dependencies. If some of the native code are merely
proxy stubs to managed code interop DLLs, you can observe that and
chase it down with ILDASM.EXE.
You can also use REFLECTOR.EXE for the managed assembly.
It sounds like you have a managed assembly which is dynamically
loading (and failing) some other assembly. Since the initial assembly
is already loaded and cached, you will need to restart its containing
Application Pool to clear it out of memory. If this is IIS5, you can
also recycle the aspnet_wp.exe containing the cached managed assembly.
You should *never* need to restart IIS when dealing with managed
code.
