We have a commercial web hosting service that told us they would support
ASP.NET. I told my client: great, I'll write a XML Web Service for you.



Many thousands of dollars later we now have a C# web service that uses
P/Invoke to call native C functions in a DLL.



Our hosting service uses software to detect whenever a new DLL is loaded on
their system. It appears that ASP.NET copies my DLL into the temporary
directory with some random file name. This makes our hosting service very
upset because it looks like they are under attack whenever ASP.NET makes a
DLL in the temporary directory.



How often does ASP.NET make a copy of my DLL in the temporary directory? Has
anyone else encountered this problem?



Thanks,
