External Assemblies - Referencing, Packaging and Applying Across Instances

To reference an external .net assembly in an application object:

  • First add the DLL to the \inetpub\webui\bin folder.
  • Go to the Code page of the app. object and select the References tab. 
  • Click the Add button next to References and in the popup window, scroll the tabs right and select the .net Assemblies tab.
  • Select the name of the assembly, click the Select button then click OK.
When packaging an extracted object from another instance that references an external assembly, first copy the external assembly to the \utilities\utilities3e folder. Otherwise critical errors will be reported in the Utilities3e Package step and the operation will fail.
