Running .NET from ColdFusion

I'm having issues running a DLL written in C# from ColdFusion.

ColdFusion Code:

<cfset dll = ExpandPath('./RemoteDraftingDLL.dll')>
<cfobject type=".NET" name="testing" class="Remote.Macro" assembly="#dll#">
<cfset output = testing.TestMethod()>
<cfoutput>#output#</cfoutput>

I'm getting this error:

Could not find the DotNet class.  
The assembly might not be registered with the DotNetSide.

It sounds like I need to register the DLL some where within the ColdFusion administration page but I'm not sure where or how?

Nevermind...Issue was resolved. We just needed to restart the Coldfusion server. - Anonymous

Everytime you change a DLL you need to restart ColdFusion. Including the initial time you place the DLL on the server and everytime the DLL is updated.

I think it would be nice if they allowed you to programmatically update the DLL register.
