[Mono-list] Re: question about Npgsql and WebServices

[A Rafael D Teixeira]

Looks like you are forgetting to put a @Assembly directive in your
.asmx. Like:

<%@ Assembly Name="Npgsql" %>

See
http://msdn.microsoft.com/library/default.asp?url=/library/en-us/cpgenref/html/gngrfassemblydirectivesyntax.asp

And remember 

Namespaces != Assemblies 

The 'using namespace' part only facilitates your coding, because you
don't have to fully qualify all referenced symbols from another
namespace.

-r:assembly (or in ASP.NET the @Assembly directive) tells the compiler
to make the public definitions available in the assembly available to
use in your code (in fully-qualified-form).

Hope it clarifies a bit,
