Many thanks,

I could compile with gmcs -r ..., but the gac hasn't worked I had to put the
full path of dll
I think I've another problem, another dll, cwbx.dll, I'm trying to use to
migrate a web service that connects to db2 systemi as400, is not manged,
i.e. is a normal windws dll, no assembly, when I try to add it with gacutil
i get not an assembly, I think I'll have to do some dllWrap, do you have
some hints?

Many thanks

Best regards

Many thanks
