I don't know if this is the right place for this. I've used Red-Gate's Reflector to disassemble .NET dlls and applications. I was wondering if there's an equivalent for non .NET products.

I am trying to understand how to interact with external DLLs written in C++ for use in my VB.NET application. I have some DLLs that a client wrote that do some math functions. Everything was working on a 32-bit machine. Because we were taxing the 32-bit machine we moved to 64-bit. Now we can't get the same functions to work. The DLLs were re-compiled as 64-bit DLLs and they still don't work. So my client wrote some dummy DLLs to see if we could figure out the problem. Here are the "signatures" of the DLL calls that I am making:[code]....Ultimately I would like to get to calling initialize_quiet and I am guessing at the format of the marshalling, const size etc.
View 3 Repliesi am facing a problem while debugging . I have put break points in some place to trace the code . But while pressing the F11 key and when it reach that function , a new window called disassemby is coming and showing something like this .

View 3 RepliesI am working on an existing vb#.net 2008 windows form application that has a large number of project files in one solution. This solution can be executed many ways depending upon what the startup project is. However there is one project file that is generally the main 'startup project'. This application also has no setup and deployment currently.
What I am trying to do is to determine what exes, dll's, config files are needed to be combined together so I can deploy them? Is there certain directory paths I can use to determine what files I need? Is there some kind of a way I can test the combined files to determine what files work together so I can deploy them?
Since this version is free and allows the creation of EXEs, what are its limitations? I'm going to attempt to convert my vb5 game using this edition. Other than the standard labels & buttons, my game uses the winsock & tab control. Are these included in the express version? Is there an option to convert vb5 code to vb.net? If not, how different is the language? Are the if/thens, loops, variable assignment still the same?

I've seen quite a few questions about calling 32 bit ActiveX components on 64 bit platforms - as I understand it you can't create a 32 bit ActiveX component from a .NET application running in X64 (native) mode. This is OK and I think I understand it.But my question is more basic. Is there such a thing as a 64 bit ActiveX component? or is ActiveX always 32 bit, period?

straightforward method of creating a DLL with properties and methods exposed to other programs? I followed the instructions that I found on the MSDN websites as well as suggestions from forum participants. The DLL should be available both for COM and .NET programs. So far, nothing has worked.There are numerous variations listed on the MSDN site. No doubt there are reasons for the differing instructions. However, I have not had sufficient success with any of them. Sometimes, just building the project makes the class visible to COM compatible programs. Other times, only after running regasm. Still other times, I have to run regasm, sn and gacutil before the DLLs class gets exposed. Then forums posters tell me: "you shouldn't have to do all that.

You developing a application named "DemoSoft" which is going to be a shareware or Premium, you use different DLL's in this project and some DLL's are owned by you, they are very useful and valuable, you are selling this software and are charging the customer for what the software does but since this software uses one of your Valuable DLL, actually few functions from it you have to deploy it and cannot additionally charge for the whole dll. since that would be unwize.now i want to ask what can you do so that This DLL in "DemoSoft" cannot be exploited, meaning end user could use my software but if some thief tries to use my supplied DLL in one of his own app he is unable to do it, in simple terms DLL should work only and only with DemoSoft.

So as the title says, I want to load a dll from a folder in my exe and use it's classes
How can I do that? like for example my app is named "run.exe" and I want at load time to load dlls from folder "resources" and use the classes from the dll's it "imported"
I have a project that references two DLL files in the system 32 directory as COM references. The files are certenroll.dll and certcli.dll which are included in the system32 directory as part of the OS. My app is a console application that I'd like to have as a standalone exe. It seems that the these files are converted to something like Interop.CERTENROLLLib.dll and Interop.CERTCLIENTLib.dll and dropped in the bin directory for my project. Since I want the app to be a standalone exe able to run on other PC's I'd rather see the app reference the original DLL files in the system32 directory and not have to carry these dependency files around with it.

View 3 RepliesI have this vb program that uses 2 dlls i made in c++, the dlls are attached to the project and are set as "copy always" and in vs debug mode they work fine, however when i try to publish the program and run it it can no longer find the dlls even tho they are right there next to the program itself the dlls are declared as following: Private Declare Function Trace Lib "Lowstuff.dll" (ByVal targ as IntPtr) As UInteger.so what im thinking is that maybe theres like a switch in project settings i didnt flick or maybe i need to specify the dll with full path or wut?
As it turns out it had nothing to do with vb afterall, it was the c++ dlls that had to be made as static. However now i have a new problem: Im geting a bunch of overflow exceptions from my program but only on other computers, in the dev machine it reports no errors or warnings whatsoever, i also went over function where the error was generated and all the functions it used and detected no fault so how am i supposed to track these down?

View 2 RepliesI have a vb.net 3.5 class library project that needs to reference two assemblies that have the same namespace. We have two third party dll's in which one is version 5.1 and the other is version 6.1. They have the same dll filename and they utilize the same namespace and functions/class names. The project needs to use one or the other depending on a specific situation. I've investigated up on a c# process that uses the "extern alias" feature to pull in the different assemblies.

What use is the Aliases property of assembly references in Visual Studio 8.It seems that this feature isn't fully available for vb.net. Things I've Tried I've renamed the 2nd dll and added both references to my project. At this point I get tons of: 'blah' is ambiguous in the namespace. So I need to alias the different versions. In vb.net you can do aliases on an imports statement like:
Imports version5 = Somedll.Something
The problem is I can't setup an assembly reference alias for the different versions of the dll. Apparently in vb.net you can't set these up in the reference properties window. So I tried setting them in in my project file like this:
<Reference Include="somedll.5.Navigation">
<HintPath>....UtilityThirdPartyDLLSsomedll.5.dll</HintPath>
<Aliases>SomeDLL5</Aliases>
[code]....
I would then expect this to work:
Imports version5 = SomeDLL5.Something
Imports version6 = SomeDLL6.Something
But the "SomeDLL5/6" doesn't show up in intellisense. So how can I reference both dll's in the same project?
