IMO, MSFT missed the ball on this one. The package deployment process for
Simple controls is great. I sure hope there is going to be better support
for more complex solutions in the future.
However, why doesn't this work. In my manifest file I specify two DLLs that
should end up in the bin directory. Bentley.PW.SharePoint.WebParts.dll has
the actuall web parts in it. The Bentley.ECOM.dll is a support DLL for the
webparts dll. When I run STSADM only the Bentley.SharePoint.WebParts.dll is
copied to the BIN directory. I have verified that BOTH DLLS are in the CAB
file.
