    Using your own BLL

    Hi Guys,

    I have created a user control in Visual Studio that references my own Business Logic Layer that is in it's own class library. I can run it in Visual Studio with no problems. However when I import it into Umbraco I have a Null Reference Exception occur when it's trying to access my BLL. Now it looks like it can't find the BLL.

    I have copiped my BLL.dll and UserControl.dll to the Umbraco bin directory.

    Is this a limitation with Umbraco? Am I doing something wrong?

    Cheer.

    Ok,

    Found the issue. Wasn't the external reference at all. It was throwing an error, but I never got to see what it was. The error was the connection string in the end, but fixed.

    You may already know this, but a helpful hint to debug you custom code against an umbraco installation is to attach your VS project to the w3wp.exe process by choosing Tools -> Attach To Process in VS and selecting w3wp.exe.  This lets you set break points in your code to see what happening.  Note that it has to be a local umbraco installation.

    Glad you solved it :)

    A litle addition: I is also posible te debug on a server. All you need to do is do is setup remote debugging.

    Folow the steps described here:
