I seem to have a problem with my DLL Function call test. I don't usally use orums...but...this is racking my brains and I need to know fast! I have searched and searched google, but I have no answer, (I do, but don't understand very well).I have created an application called epsControl.exe in Windowssystem32 folder. I have also created a file called epsDevDrv.dll or EPS Device Driver. It doesn't really act as a device driver, I just gave it a fancy name, (that's why I'm called the VB Weirdo.........) anyway to the point:My dll does a simple function, to answer a mathematical problem (simple), and return it to the exe file which puts it in a msgbox.

i know it might be impossible to achieve (as i've been reading from another articles) but does anyone know how to set a dll entry point in VB.net project? I have created a VB.net dll and trying to call that dll from cobol (unmanaged code). in Cobol, i can only use the entry point statement to call VB.net dll (cannot add reference to it). as consequence, i'm getting "called program not found" (or in VB error is equal to "can't find dll entry point")

I was playing with VB.Net yesterday using Visual Studio Express (VSE). I am trying to get a feel for the language. One thing that struck me was the fact that VB's entry point, Sub Main(), is written inside a Module, as opposed to inside a Class like in C#. At least that's how it appears in the books I'm reading. That got me thinking. Is it possible to change the entry point location from a Module to a Class, or for that matter to have Sub Main() completely outside these two constructs?
I search the internet and found out that VSE indeed allows one to changed the entry point through the project properties. So I set the entry point to Sub Main() and tried compiling the "Hello World!" project locating Sub Main() inside a Class construct. Well, that didn't work. I tried changing the name of the class to match the project name, but that didn't help. I didn't bother try putting Sub Main() completely outside a module or class figuring that would be impossible. However, while looking through various post in this forum, I got the feeling I gave up to soon. So here are my questions:
1. Can the entry point be within a Class/Form construct or completely outside any construct for that matter?
2. Can the entry point be some other Sub (e.g., Sub MyMain)
If the answer is yes to anyone of these questions, where do I set the option to make this work?
I was wondering is it possible to put forms into a class library project and if so could I use those forms as an mdi child from my main forms app?A bit behind what I am trying to do:I am creating a game which is essentially going to have its own 'operating system' As the user progresses in the game they can 'install' new software into their operating system.I have my 'Desktop' that is an MDI Parent and what I want the users to be able to do it when they have purchased a new bit of software (also in game) the game will connect to my central server download a dll and place it in a directory, that is essentially installing the new bit of software and the game will then pick up that dll and add a new button the Programs list and when the user clicks on that software in the Programs list it will launch the form in the Class Library as an MDI Child of the 'desktop
View 2 RepliesI've created a class library and it's shared by several projects I'm working on.
I added a reference to the DLL - but it appears to have copied it locally - and that's causing problems when I modify the class library. Seems I have to drop the reference and re-add it.
I'm seeing info on the web about adding a PROJECT REFERENCE but can't seem to get that to work.
What is the best method of sharing a class library with several other projects.
Actually - should all my projects be in one SOLUTION? Is that preferred.
It will be 5 projects all working with the same class library...
Recently, I upgraded VB6 project to VB.Net. After that I can sucessfully compile the project and generate a DLL file in the bin folder, but when I try to use regsvr32 command to register the DLL, I got error saying "DllRegister Server Entry Point is not found".
And I cannot remove it from memory, if I want to use my old DLL.
I need to create a COM-callable DLL using VB.NET 2010 that can be opened by a legacy VB6 application. I'm experimenting with a very simple demo example first. When I try to register the resulting DLL with regsvr32, it shows me this error:"DemoCounter.dll was loaded, but the DllRegister Server entry point was not found. This file cannot be registered."Here are the steps I followed:
1. Create new VB.Net project as a class library.
2. Delete the class1.vb file it starts with.
3. Add a new class from template "COM Class"
4. Build the DLL and try to register it.
The class has the GUIDs, the <COMCLASS ...> stuff, and has a checkmark in the "Register for COM Interop" checkbox of the project settings.[code]

View 1 RepliesSay I have a Framework 4.0 project that is referencing a class library targeting 3.5. The project will simply not build. It won't give me any valid error message it will just act as though the reference does not exist.
Projects that were working like this in Visual Studio 2008 are no longer working in 2010. Took me forever to figure out what there error is. If I remove the project reference and add it back the intellisense lights up and you can tell a variable referenced in the class library is found. But as soon as you build the project everything is lost. My using statements get underlined, references to the variable all turn grey and project fails to build saying the class cannot be found. Once I make the class library 4.0 as well everything builds. I get the same issue between 4.0 client profile and 4.0 as well.
It does work on some machine's but wold not start on other computers. from the code line's I see the problem is related to devex components.
