"Reference Required" Error When Referencing NServiceBus Assembly From Another Project
Feb 3, 2010
We are trying to write an application that uses the NServiceBus library in a VB.NET environment. We've been stymied by errors similar to the following: Reference required to assembly 'NServiceBus,Version=2.0.0.1071, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=9fc386479f8a226c' containing the implemented interface 'NServiceBus.IMessageHandler`1'. Add one to your project.Our project already includes references to NServiceBus.dll and NServiceBus.Core.dll from the same NServiceBus 2.0 RC2 distribution.
[Code]...
Any ideas about how to solve this problem? (And, yes, my preferred solution is switching to C#, but no, that's not an acceptable one at the moment.)
I have managed to get ASP.NET Membership mainly working with my SQL server.The problem i'm having is I get an error in VS2010 in my code behind file when attempting to create a user. I get a Red Exclamation mark appear on .CreateUser on the code below.
Error Message:Reference required to assembly 'System.Web.Security.ApplicationServices, Version=4.0.0.0, Culture=neutral,PublicKeyToken=31bf3856ad364e65' containing the type 'System.Web.Security.MembershipUser'. Add one to your project.
Code:

I've tried adding the following to the web.config:Not sure if thats correct!! but i get an error message when I open the page:Parser Error Message: Could not load file or assembly 'System.Web.Security.MembershipUser, System.Web.ApplicationServices, Version=4.0.0.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=31bf3856ad364e65' or one of its dependencies.

im building an application i started it in VB 2008 and i upgraded to VB 2010
then i made some mods and tryed to run the application and then
i get this error
Error2Reference required to assembly 'System.Windows.Forms, Version=4.0.0.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=b77a5c561934e089' containing the type 'System.Windows.Forms.Form'. Add one to your project.C:UsersAdminDesktop
I have a Visual Studio 2008 solution with project A referencing project B as a project reference. Project B references System.Data.Linq, but project A does not. Everything compiles and runs fine. I like this arrangement because avoiding a reference to System.Data.Linq in project A ensures that it uses project B methods instead of directly accessign System.Data.Linq methods, which I want to avoid.
I have written a .net assembly which plugs into to a third party COM application. The .net assembly is COM visible to the third party application. However this .net assembly references other regular assemblies. If I put these assemblies in the GAC the COM visibile assembly sees them without a problem. However for various reasons I do not want to put them into the GAC but I cannot get my COM visible assembly to see the other assemblies when they are in other locations. I have tried putting them in the same directory as the COM visible assembly. I have tried putting them in the same directory as the third party app's exe but neither of these work.
I have Visual Studio 2010 and a VB Project that had a reference to Microsoft.Interop.Excel 12.0. Well recently I changed the reference version to 14.0. That was actually a mistake and now I need to bump it back down to version 12.0. However I get this error in my project now...
Project 'MyProject' requires a reference to version '14.0.0.0' of assembly 'Microsoft.Office.Interop.Excel', but references version '12.0.0.0' of assembly 'Microsoft.Office.Interop.Excel'.
I tried removing references and adding the com object to, but no avail.
Quote: Error while trying to run project: Could not load file or assembly WindowsApplication1' or one of its dependencies. The module was expected to contain an assembly manifest.
I don't know whats the cause of this.. Just asking if how can I load or find the missing Assembly or Dependencies? Because when I use this project w/ Setup & Deployment.. i encountering this error message:
Quote:Unable to find a version of the runtime to run this program
I've got an exception when I deployed my application: "the located assembly's manifest does not match the assembly reference" What I remember is changing the project name from the previous source code, does it affect that much?
I'm returning to my old question since I've never been able to find an answer. For example I have a class library A with a method Method, is there a way to load this assembly from my application B and execute this method (A.Method) without putting a reference to assembly A?
My idea isn't that the idea behind System.Reflection?
So far, I can only load the assembly, I can even enumerate classes, members, etc, but I cannot figure out how to invoke methods and read property values.
We have one program that acts as a "server" (so to speak) and many programs that reference it. every time we update the server, we are forced to update all the dependent programs to reference the new version number. Our IPC communication protocol is pretty stable and doesn't change, so we aren't worried about upgrade incompatibilities. I would like to know how to automatically reference the "latest" version of an assembly. What I mean is, if I choose Project->properties->references, I always get a specific version. Is there a way to reference whatever the latest version is? This way, we wouldn't have to update every program that is dependent on our server every single time there is an update.
Currently I have a need to reference a class library dll that is not located in the same directory as the exe nor its subdirectories. Can anyone point me in the right direction on this? Are there any good articles or tutorials on it? I have been looking through my .Net books and some go into details in a different direction and none that I have seem to cover it. To be honest, if theres a nice tutorial or article on this topic with sample code to look at, that would be ideal at this point in my project (Im literally presenting on it twice tomorrow).
I have to admit that Im fairly ignorant of this topic, but its my understanding that I should be able to accomplish this using the assemblyBinding elements in the application configuration. If I do use a codebase approach with the app config, am I suppose to do something in the exe code to read the config and load? The class library that Im refrencing am I supposed to have any special methods or classes in it to make this work? I think I have more questions than answers.
If you want more of the nitty-gritty details on the current scenario, here it is:
I have an executable Ive developed (well call this myApp.exe). I also have a centralized data-accessing class library (well call this appData.dll). This exe actually utilizes a framework Ive designed to run from within a third-party companys application. To ensure the myApp.exe is more maintainable and accessible, it will be located separately from the framework.dll and the appData.dll. The framework.dll will most likely reside in the same directory as the third-party exe, but separate from the appData.dll and myApp.exe. So I was considering applying the assemblyBinding elements in the application configuration files for the myApp.exe pointing toward the framework.dll and the appData.dll while that for the framework.dll will be pointing toward the appData.dll (this is why the data access library file is central between the two).
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"
"Warning1Could not resolve this reference. Could not locate the assembly "Dotnetrix.TabControl". Check to make sure the assembly exists on disk. If this reference is required by your code, you may get compilation errors." and i have no idea how to fix it. i need to use the dotnetrix.tabcontrol.dll for what im trying to do, but i can't build the program. i can debug it though. haha i am a complete newbie to visual basic but this seems to be my only problem so far.
I am trying not to become intimidated or give up.I created a simple database and added stored procedures to read the data on a Windows form using Visual Basic in VS 2010.First I tried the Data Grid Example and all worked, I was able to view the data using a connection string to call the Stored procedure.I have stepped it up a notch by trying to bind data to form controls and I am getting this error message when I try to navigate through the data.
When ever I finish simple programs no matter what it is and i click to debug it it comes up"Error while trying to run project:could not load file or assembly"project name" or one of its dependencies.the module was expected to contain an assembly manifest"
I have a program that has a button with text of "Email". When the user clicks this button I would like my application to check to see if the user has Microsoft Outlook installed on their system, and, if so, to open it up with the email address populated from a field within my form.I'm having several problems.I just basically don't know where to begin.I've searched the internet some, but couldn't find much that begins where I need to begin.Firstly, I _don't_ have Outlook installed on my computer that I am developing the application from.This is probably why, when I go to Import a Reference on the COM tab, that I cannot find the Microsoft.Office.Interop.Outlook item.Then, based on what I have read elsewhere, I would do the following:
Dim objOutlook As Outlook.Application
But then I'm not quite sure the code to call up Outlook, although I bet I could find it if I could just get over that first hurdle.
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.
Lets say that I had three TextBox's and they are named TextBox1, TextBox2, and TextBox3, is there a way to do like TextBox And Rand(1,3).Text = Nothing? Something similar to this where you click a button and it will choose at randomly a textbox to clear?I know I could do like Dim Number = Rand(1,3)if Number = 1 Then TextBox1.Text = Nothingend ifif Number = 2 Then TextBox1.Text = Nothingend ifor use else if and such, but I have 12 different textbox's, not three, so, I want to shorten the code, if you could do something like TextBox And Rand(1,12).Text = Nothing that would defenitely be way shorter, can you do anything like that to put together "TextBox" and the number to reference the control? I am not looking to use the full controls list to search for the right control nor to make an array that contains the controls, I just want to reference them without adding extra arrays or searhing for them.
I'm making an application that will be available as both a Windows App and an ASP.Net App. The web app has a much scaled-down version of the functionality of the window app. I want to reference the classes contained with the windows app from my web app. The thing is, my classes in the windows app may have some modifications: if I reference them in my web app, will this pick up the changes made automatically? Also, referencing the project is for development work, when I go to deploy the web app, I will probably need to reference the classes as dll's. So the next questions are: 1. Is this the right way to go about doing this? 2. How do I make the Classes I have into self-contained dll files?
On the DataGrid control it says: "the type datagrid was not found, Verify that you are not missing an assembly refernece" I'm creating the control within a Win Forms app. What assembly to I need to include and how do I do that in XAML?
I have VS 2005. I am creating a VB .NET class that will interop with a COM app. I want to add a reference to a type lib file (.tlb). So I run the add reference command and use the browse button. I browse to the .tlb file I want and ok out. When I am done, the reference I have is to an assembly in the GAC. But I don't want that assembly as a reference. I want to have the IDE create a private interop assembly that I will deliver with my .NET object.
So how do I avoid hvaing VB .NET pull in an assembly from the GAC instead of creating an interop asm from the typelib I have browsed to?
I have written a program in VB.NET 2008 Express that references a .NET managed dll. I simply added a reference to the dll to the project. I then 'Imports' the dll at the beginning of the program and then can use it. Everything works fine when I am running the program in debug mode (and it uses the dll as intended), but as soon as I go to build the project I get an errors that it "Could not reslove this reference" and "Namespace of type specifier in the Imports 'ModbusTCP' doesn't contain any public member or cannot be found." The dll is located in a different location on my hard drive to the project location, but this was referenced when I 'added reference'.
I'm fairly new to VB.NET and I'm currently playing around with user controls, figuring out good programming practices. As far as I understand, to create and use a UserControl, I need to create a project with the UserControl in it, then build the project and use that DLL (add it to Toolbox or otherwise).My question is this: Is there a way a have a project (a Form with a bunch of things on it) that contains a UserControl written in a *.vb file inside that same Project? If you do that, the DLL (in my case) never gets produced, possibly because the UserControl is never used and building it is simply omitted. Is it perhaps a bad practice to do that altogether? It simply makes sense to me to keep a UserControl as a part of the Project that uniquely uses it. Is there a reason not to do that?
I am using VB.NET 2002 and we have set up a test environment running SQL Server 2005. I am trying to add a reference to Microsoft.SQLServer.ManagedDTS.dll which is required to run a DTS/SSIS package from VB.NET. However the dll does not show in my add reference listing so when I select BROWSE and select the actual DLL I get a rather long error message telling me that only 'dll' and COM components can be referenced.
The exact message is: A reference to 'C:Programs FilesMicrosoft SQL Server90SDKAssembliesMicrosoft.SQLServer.ManagedDTS.dll' could not be added. This is not a valid assembly or COM component. Only assemblies with extension 'dll' and COM components can be referenced.make sure that the file is accessible, and that it is a valid assembly or COM component.
I began setting up a TeamCity server a couple days ago for use in automated testing and CI. We mainly do VB.net web apps and up until now, it had been checking out things and building just fine.
A problem came up when I tried to add actual deployment into the mix. I saw this article: [URL]
referenced all over the place as a good guide, so I followed the steps relating to setting up a Web Deployment project and rigging TeamCity to run it. Basically, it recommends setting up a new build configuration in VS2010 called "Deployment" which builds the Web Deployment project, then creating a build configuration in TC that targets it.
The issue is that the web deployment project won't compile when run under TeamCity. The regular build works just fine, but if I set MSBuild to use the build configuration that includes the Web Deployment project, it crashes halfway through and gives an error about attempting to load the System.Data.OracleClient assembly in an incorrect format. I assume this means a 32-bit/64-bit error, especially since my development machine is a 32-bit box, and the build server is 64, but I don't know why this is happening, especially when the regular build works, and nothing in my project involves using an Oracle database.
I saw in the log that there's a warning about missing reference assemblies for the 4.0 framework, so I headed off to the MS website and downloaded the SDK, but that didn't change anything. At this point, I'm stuck, and I didn't see anything already here on Stack Overflow that looked quite like this. I'll attach the log below. Have I missed something simple?
I have a pretty complicated project with lots of class files, code modules, etc. There was a changed to one of my referenced DLLs that requires an isolated change in a single Sub within my solution. Unfortunately, this new Sub is not compatible with most of my clients' configuration but is required by some of my other clients. So now I must keep two versions in Source Safe of my solution - which I do not want to do. What I would like to do is to be able to determine which DLL is running and flip a switch to use the either the old Sub or the new Sub. Currently the sub is in a class, but I could break it out. Is it possible to determine which assembly version DLL is running? Also, if I reference the new DLL, the old Sub will not build. If I reference the old DLL, the new Sub will not build. So is there a way to keep both Subs in the same project?
Can I use reflection to know what is the assembly version of a loaded DLL?
I have an industrial control program that we install on OEM equipment. This equipment falls into one of two categories; those WITH a special piece of IO hardware installed on the computer and those without.
This IO hardware has .NET 3.5 support assemblies, and is easy to program for. In my program, I reference the assemblies under the Project Properties and I'm good to go. Here's my problem... my program now seems to NEED this assembly to even start up, even if I'm not directly accessing anything in it until much later in the programming. When we ship any version of this equipment; I need to install the IO hardware assemblies whether the equipment needs it or not just for my program to run. The assemblies are bundled onto a hardware driver disk, and this sucker is 3gig.
What I would like to do is alter my program so that it runs no matter if it finds those assemblies or not. If not, then it will automatically close off certain functionallities (you can't use that because your computer don't have the hardware installed); and ideally, Visual Studio won't have 100 errors about a "missing reference". If found, then it will call them and use them normally as the program currently does.
Im trying to convert the nServiceBus PubSub .net4 example into vb and I'm struggling at one point which I think is a language issue but I thought I would ask the experts. The code in question is from the publisher:
