I am trying to use the File GDB API (1.2) .NET wrapper in an asp.net web service with no luck. The website will not load spitting out error: "Could not load file or assembly 'Esri.FileGDBAPI.DLL' or one of its dependencies. The specified module could not be found."
The .NET Wrapper works perfectly fine in a windows form application from my machine. Just to rule out the obvious:
- Esri.GileGDBAPI.dll, FileGDBAPI.dll, and FileGDBAPID.dll all are sitting in the bin of the website (along with OpenTK dll's)
- I have the prerequisite OpenTK installed
- Latest VC Runtime distributable installed.
- Website is targeting .NET 4.0
The fact that it runs fine in a windows form application gives me confidence that I have everything I need on my machine.
Does anyone have any other ideas and/or has anyone successfully used the .net wrapper in a .net webservice?
UPDATE: With the help of fuslogvw in the post I marked as the answer, I was able to to get the web service working after the directory containing the FileGDBAPI.dll and FileGDBAPID.dll was added to the 'Path' variable.

Try enabling Fusion logging and inspect it with Fuslogvw to at least determine the reason for the assembly load failure: Debugging Assembly Loading Failures.
