I'm having a problem with referencing a dll from a web service

I am trying to create a custom web service for Sharepoint 2010. I am using Visual Studio 2010, and following the tutorial found @ http://blogs.microsoft.co.il/blogs/egady/archive/2009/03/31/writing-custom-web-services-for-sharepoint.aspx

In either case, I seem to keep running into the same problem:

As per the instructions, I remove the codebehind file for the asmx file, and point that to a custom dll. When I do that however, the new WebService Directive does not seem to want to recognize the new class.

it looks like this:

<%@ WebService Language="VB" Class="WIMSPSvcLib.QueryService, WIMSPSvcLib, Ver开发者_Go百科sion=1.0.0.0, culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=b057b929ec3836e6" %>

I figure the issue is in the Class attribute. The samples are C# based, not VB, and I wonder if there is a syntactical issue there.

My error is simply:

Could not load type 'WIMSPSvcLib.QueryService' from assembly 'WIMSPSvcLib, Version=1.0.0.0, culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=b057b929ec3836e6'.

Can anyone suggest as to what I'm doing wrong?

Please check the following things:

• Is your assembly properly installed in the GAC?
• Is 'WIMSPSvcLib.QueryService' indeed the Fully Qualified Name? (i.e. shouldn't it for example be Class="NamespaceA.NamespaceB.WIMSPSvcLib.QueryService, NamespaceA.NamespaceB.WIMSPSvcLib, ...

Okay, so it was in fact an issue of me just not repeating the namespaces enough times.

WIMSPSvcLib.WIMSPSvcLib.QueryService, WIMSPSvcLib,.....

was the proper designation

things are working now

Thanks for the help.
