Make sure that your web form inherits WorkflowPage in order to implement a web form. For this, you need to have WorkflowGen.My referenced in your project.

To directly reference an assembly in your web project:

1. Create a `bin` directory under your web site root folder (e.g.: `\wfgen\wfapps\webforms \yourWebFormName\bin`).

2. Copy the `WorkflowGen.My.dll` file to this folder.

3. Right-click on your project name and choose **Add reference…**

4. Click **Browse**.

5. Navigate to the `bin` directory you just created and choose the `WorkflowGen.My.dll` file, then click **OK**.

WorkflowGen.My is now referenced in your project.

You can also put this assembly in your GAC (Global Assembly Cache) in order to have only one centralized reference, instead of referring a copy of the assembly in each web form project.

To install the assembly in your GAC:

1. Copy `WorkflowGen.My.dll` to `DRIVE:\Windows\System32`.

2. Open a command prompt

3. Go to `DRIVE:\Program Files\Microsoft Visual Studio 8\SDK\v2.0\Bin`.

4. Type the command `gacutil /i c:\windows\system32\WorkflowGen.My.dll` and press **Enter**.

WorkflowGen.My is now in your GAC.

Now that the assembly is placed in the GAC, you need to reference it in your project. To do this:

1. Open your `web.config` file.

2. Insert the following line in the assemblies node:
