Where is the bin folder located?

Question

Wednesday, April 2, 2008 1:14 AM

I recentlty began using VS 2008 VWD for ASP.NET.  Everything was fine until I tried to add a 3rd party dll control to my website.  It instructs you to put the dll into the bin directory of the application, but I can't find one.  Didn't there use to be a bin directory in the c:\Inetpub\wwwroot\. ? 

So I added a bin folder, put the dll into it, and then added a refrence to it.  But I get errors about not being able to find it when I try to add the control to the toolbox.

What am I doing wrong?

you will find the bin folder in your application directory path after you successfully compile your application. 

if you choose the default path for your website it will be

C:\Documents and Settings\USER NAME>\My Documents\Visual Studio 2005\WebSites \Your Website Name>
