Re: Java converted to .NET with IKVM, works as stand alone application but not as MVC 4 web application (database connection)

Hi,

This really should be in the FAQ. It has nothing to do with MVC and everything with ASP.NET. In an ASP.NET application there is no main assembly so the IKVM class loader can't find your assembly when the code is trying to dynamically load a class. The fix is to register your assemblies explicitly by calling:

ikvm.runtime.Startup.addBootClassPathAssembly(Assembly.Load("YourDll"));

Regards,
Jeroen
