When I'm adding project reference to a project in VS2010, VS is unable to refer it in the project,
but when I'm adding the dll path (by browse), VS is getting the reference and project is working fine.
I'm using VS2010 professional edition and both the projects are in .NET Framework 4.0.
I'm developing application that is plugable. The plugins are loaded via Assembly.LoadFrom(). In my solution I have 4 projects. A WPF, 2 DLL and another DLL that is a plugin for the app. The plugin project references one of the other DLLs. When I build the Solution and run I was getting an error trying to use the plugin dll because it was expecting an older version of the referenced project. I had to clean and rebuild the plugin project to get it to run correctly.

I have 2 projects, one built in VB.NET and another in C#.NET. I want to use certain functionality of VB.NET into C#.NET and hence I have added the dll file of VB.NET solution into C#.NET as a reference by browsing the dll from my system. Say dll name for VB.NET is myData.dll. In my C#.NET project I am trying to declare it as a namespace i.e. "using myData;" and its giving me an error of "Type or namespace name could not be found"

I have created a program who needs to connect to a mysql db with the mysql connector 6, and it works great, at least on my computer
If i build the app and puts it on another computer and tries to connect to the db it says it can't find the file who where referencing to MySQL.Data??
Shouldn't that reference dll follow with the program in the programs exe or something?
Public Class aaMyForm Inherits Windows.Forms.Form Added some controls. Build it, add the .DLL as reference to my other project.
In my other project:
Imports MyLib
Public Class XForm

The events from aaMyForm execute correctly but the controls added to it are not shown on XForm. I have found some info about set Modifiers Protected in order to be able to change the functionality of the controls but havent found anything about why the controls aren display on the XForm.

I am very very very Curious , okay today when i opened vb.2005 i click on projectAdd ReferenceCOM(tab)
It showed me different component names, so here is my question
What can i do with those Components? I saw Yahoo Messenger Components/ Bit torrent/ Real Player/ Quick Time and different applications' component to summarize my curiosity

View 4 RepliesI'm a VBA programmer and can do Office integration in Office applications.I'm programming in VB in VSTS 2008 and following these steps to create an Excell application at runtime: [URL] but it is not working.The issue I'm having is when I add the reference, the library is not recognized by VBE intellisense and compiler, so: the code doesn't run.When I use late binding technique and declare variables as objects, the code runs OK, but I don't want that way.I tried adding the references in two different ways:
1 - Menu Project / Add Reference / tab COM / Microsoft Excel 11.0 Object Library / OK
2 - Menu Project / VB Properties / References / Add / Microsoft Excel 11.0 Object Library
Both methods didn't work.
I 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.
[URL]
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?
In a VB.Net project, you can use the Settings tab of the properties page to define application settings. To reference the settings in code, you use the syntax My.Settings.SettingName in VB.
On the Settings tab, you get to choose the Access Modifier. It may be "Friend" or "Public". Presumably, when you choose "Public", you are making the settings accessible to other assemblies. However, once "Public" is chosen, I can't figure out the syntax to reference the settings of one project from another. In fact, I can't observe any difference between using "Internal" vs. "Public" as the access modifier.
My question: Does choosing "Public" as the access modifier make settings accessible to other assemblies? If so, what is the syntax to reference the settings from other assemblies? If not, what does "Public" do?

The numbers usually amount to millions so speed has become an issue.My current project works on a very simple SQL database with two fields - an ID and the actual string.

In the process of doing so, I have one ActiveX COM control that the project uses. I've installed that control using the maker's installer. Now, when I open the project, the project cannot find the control, etc. - "The system cannot find the reference specified."
