This has been previously posted in DOTNET_WEB. We have encountered a problem related to loading satellite resource assemblies in .NET. Maybe someone has some suggestion on how to debug this problem.
We have the language neutral assembly (ebculture.dll) in the bin directory and the en-US version (ebculture.resources.dll) in the corresponding subdirectory. "aspnet_wp.exe" is running under "SYSTEM". VD is setup with integrated Windows authentication. Code is doing something like: Assembly a = Assembly.Load( "ebculture" ); this.myRM = new ResourceManager( className, a ); string bla = this.myRM.GetString( .... ) Code is also looking at the Languages setup in browser and sets CurrentCulture and CurrentUICulture accordingly. When setting IE's language to en-US, we get the following: .Invoking the page under a non-admin user, ebculture.resources.dll is not loaded and consequently the page is not translated. .With the *exact* same setup but invoking the page under a admin user, the satellite DLL is loaded and everything works OK. .Going back to the non- admin user and copying the ebculture.resources.dll to the bin directory, everything works also OK. Thinking that aspnet_wp might be getting a security exception while loading the satellite assembly located under the en_US subdirectory, I did a filemon trace. This looks like the following: IRP_MJ_CREATE C:\inetpub\wwwroot\eBranch\bin\en- US\ebculture.resources.DLL SUCCESS Attributes: N Options: Open FASTIO_QUERY_BASIC_INFO C:\inetpub\wwwroot\eBranch\bin\en- US\ebculture.resources.DLL SUCCESS Attributes: RA IRP_MJ_CLEANUP C:\inetpub\wwwroot\eBranch\bin\en- US\ebculture.resources.DLL SUCCESS IRP_MJ_CLOSE C:\inetpub\wwwroot\eBranch\bin\en- US\ebculture.resources.DLL SUCCESS IRP_MJ_CREATE C:\inetpub\wwwroot\ebranch\bin\en- us\ebculture.resources.dll SUCCESS Attributes: N Options: Open Sequential FASTIO_QUERY_STANDARD_INFO C:\inetpub\wwwroot\ebranch\bin\en- us\ebculture.resources.dll SUCCESS Size: 188416 FASTIO_QUERY_STANDARD_INFO C:\inetpub\wwwroot\ebranch\bin\en- us\ebculture.resources.dll SUCCESS Size: 188416 IRP_MJ_CLEANUP C:\inetpub\wwwroot\ebranch\bin\en- us\ebculture.resources.dll SUCCESS IRP_MJ_CLOSE C:\inetpub\wwwroot\ebranch\bin\en- us\ebculture.resources.dll SUCCESS But in spite of everything looking OK (from the IO point of view) still the satellite DLL is not loaded (I checked with procexp). Anyone has a suggestion on how to pursue this further? Rgds, Manuel Patrone
