When compiling a XAF web application VS2005 inserts the following line into "web.config"

Because the assembly is not available on a clean 2003 server the XAF application crashes.

I found the following blog entry that describes the problem in more details:

http://geekswithblogs.net/chrisfalter/archive/2006/04/28/76685.aspx

Also I am wondering why references to "System.Data.OracleClient", "System.Design" and "System.Windows.Forms" are added. I am not using Oracle and it is a web application and not a windows forms application.

Joern

P.S.: If I remove the reference to "stdole" from web.config on the server everything seems to work - strange!

Thanks for the quick response!

If this is a known issue - and according to the blog post it does seem to be an issue with one of the DevExpress assemblies having a reference to stdole of MS office - I would very strongly recommend to publish this in the XAF documentation.

I wasted an hour tracking down this issue which is annoying.
