Debug And Deploy Class Library That Is Really A VSX Extension?
Oct 21, 2010
The Class Library is an Microsoft Studio extension that generates a file from saving running a custom tool on a template file, following the module from this example I found from Microsoft: [URL]
I can not figure out how I'm gonna debug, build, or deploy this object so I can test it in Microsoft Studio 2010. If you can help me get my class library debugging inside the VSX instance let me know. I will also need to compile and have a delivery method for this extension.
I'm not sure if this is the right forum or not but...I've written my first VB.NET 2008 Express Class Library project (addin dll) and now I need to deploy it. I see Windows Form Applications have a Publsh tab (ClickOnce) in the project properties window but my class library project does not. How do I deploy a VB.NET 2008 Express Class Library project?
It seems that my library of extension methods that was written in VB.NET has problems.I have 2 overloaded extension methods Crop().When i reference the lib from a VB.NET project i see them. If reference it from a C# project i can't see them.
I made a Class Library project that contains the main classes that my Main Project needs because I don't want to main classes when I distribute my project. I've successfully called and used it in my Main Project. But when I started debugging and stepping through my code which involves calling and using the class I wrote in my Class Library, I noticed that the class' file in my Class Library opens up during debug mode.
how can I prevent the Class Library's files from being opened during my Main Project's debug mode?
language: VB.Net Framework : .NET 2.0 i got a little problem with software deployment. I use Flash Active X control in my software for displaying animated pictures. I build the installer for my software and install to some computer. My software run perfectly on most computer which has the latest Flash player, but not worked on some PC even has the latest Flash player. I am thinking to include Flash library into my installer, so the user dont have to install the Flash player.
My question is how to make my software to use my own Flash library without accessing to the Flash player inside their computer, so my software can run perfectly without the user have to install Flash player. I want to make my software easier to use without asking the user to install Flash player.
I have a Visual Basic Class Library project. It generates a DLL. Is there a method to generate a static .LIB to which I can do a static link?Alternatively, can I do a static link against a DLL?
I have a class library in VB.NET that does a NET-envelope for an USB device driver.There is only one function of that driver that I could not envelope in a traditional class, but I had to put it in a Windows Service as described here:Sharing a class property (field) between applications.The Windows Service works fine, but I have now two projects for my NET-envelope: the one with the class library, the second with the windows service and I do not like the idea to maintain two distinct projects for the same driver.Is it a good practice (or even if possible) to add a windows service class to a normal class library (without creating its own project as described in the vb tutorial)?I know, in any case I should create a separate setup only for the windows service, but in this way I could have together all the classes that envelope my usb device driver in only one project.
I've createda vb.net class library where I've defined a number of small classes... nothing complicated, just working with strings, sending emails, etc.In another project, I reference the class library and I'm seemingly able to create an instance ofone of tclasses - intellisense shows me all of the plic properties, methods, etc... all looks perfect. No compile errors at all, nothing b gumdropsand lollipops.When I run the app I'm working on that references the class library, it fails at the point where I'm creating an instance of the class and gives me a vague exception, "System.TypeLoadException".
I have extended an Entity Framework 4 entity class with a calculated property in a partial class. This member is not available on the client to which the entities are exposed via WCF RIA Services.when using C# appears to be changing the extension of the partial class file from .cs to .shared.cs. I tried this with my VB.Net solution (.vb to .shared.vb) and got a long list of errors. I believe what happened is that the partial class lost its association with the entity on the client - it inherited from object rather than EntityObject.
My best guess is that this is related to the way that VB.Net handles namespaces.Each project has a 'Root Namespace' which is prepended to anything that is defined within a code file. C# has a 'Default Namespace'which is the namespace into which new types are placed by default - via a namespace statement within the file.The partial class is probably having the client namespace prepended to it which puts it into a different namespace than the entity with which it is associated on the server.Is there any means of extending an entity in such a way that those extensions are available on the client via WCF RIA Services and VB.Net?
I have a solution in VS 2008 that creates a DLL. I then use that DLL in another application. If I go in to the DLL projects property pages and change the following configuration for a DEBUG build then the built dll no long provides the desired functionality. If I change it back and rebuild the DLL, then the DLL does provide the correct functionality:
I have made a class using New->Class Library. I have 2 constructors, 1 function (that computes length of circle), one subroutine that computes area of circle, and main subroutine.
Public Class Class1 Class Circle Dim rad As Double
[CODE]...
My problem is when I try to run the program: No errors of syntax.
What I must do? I need to right click in solution explorer add new item->add->class and copy here this code?
After I write the code I chose from the vb menu: Build->Build Solution_name
Before writing the code I choose File->New->and selected class library then save all to save as a project.
Or class library is only a dll file that runs with a windows forms application. (that is added after i write the code for write library).
I have a question related with VB.Net Code. I see that the DataTable we can use: DataTable(0)'This return a DataRow with the selected index In the intellisense I see that this functionality can achieve with a extension... but, If I create a extension, always I need refer the Extension before to use it
I want to create a extension class for the List type so users can do [code]I've it defined as Type and also tried object but neither are accessible when I have a list of strings.If I set it to be string it then appears..But I want something that is more generic and will work with all lists. How do I need to define it?
there's a lot of dlls i've got one in the Release folder and one in the Debug folder under bin, there seem to be one in the obj folder as well.they all seem to work fine, but which should be the correct one?
I have two projects; A and B, where B needs to use some classes that are in project A. Hence, I added B to A's solution, and in B I added a reference to project A.
Is that sensible? Or should I rather put those classes in a class library?
I see that if I further want to open form/program B from a menu option in project A, then A needs a reference to B. Which would not be possible if B already had a reference to A. However if I use the class library for the common classes, then it's ok as B doesn't need the A reference.
Does this sound logical? It would be nice to know what are typical reasons for putting projects in the same solution, and if it's advised to use libraries aggressively to refactor common code between two projects, even if it's just a couple of classes.. Yet I've never made my own library, so a bit unsure on when to use it.
I'm merging two of my projects that can share a lot of the same classes into one solution with two web applications and a shared class library.
I've literally just dumped all the classes into the class library project and as expected I've got a ton of errors to fix. My main problem at the moment is the connection string. Currently I have this (which is obviously not going to work):
''' <summary> ''' Initialise the data access layer by loading the database connection string from the Web.Config file
I'm in the midst of developing a class library DLL for a third party application. On my machine, the developers machine, things are going along smoothly. I can compile/build and my DLL is loaded, and thus works as expected.
I've been copying the contents of the Release directory from C:Solutions...Release to C:ProgramDirectory. I realize now that my DLL is loaded into memory from the Release folder, and not the folder I copied it to.The point being of course, I want to distribute this third-party add-in to my users. And sure enough when I try that, presumably the DLL isn't loaded into memory and thus not available to the user, like it is on my machine.
I tried the first obvious thing and registering the DLL on the user's machine, but that failed."The module "..." was loaded but the entry-point DLLRegisterServer was not found." It's apparent I am missing some key step or caveat when it comes to developing this class library.
I`ve made a .NET component in C#. After that, i`ve created a class library in VB.NET and added this C# component and a couple of buttons to the library (creating another component now with buttons). So far, so good.The problem is: when i use this final component (vb.net class library), i want to link all MouseClick Events of its own components (buttons and C# component). In other words, when i add this final class library to my VB solution, it has its own MouseClick event. But when i click inside it doesnt raise the click event unless i do not click in the buttons or in the C# component inside it. I want to raise this event in the application wherever i click (inside or outside its own components).
My objective is to take a .vb class file that is used on multiple local applications/web sites and convert it to a .dll file that would would be deployed to the servers that we use.The code all works, I can build my class library project with Visual Studios 2008 Pro and end up with a DLL.I can then drag and drop the DLL into any application or website and use it successfully What I'm missing is how to compile it correctly so it will do two things;
1. Get it to show up as a .NET component
2. Get it to NOT scream at me when I try to reference it.
I think part of my problem is that I've been looking up assemblies and dll's when maybe I should have been looking at component authoring.No, I don't want to just stick with the drag and drop into local bins. I might as well just copy and paste the original .vb at that point.
I was dangerously close to high-jacking another thread, so I thought I should create my own. We make class libraries so we won't duplicate code, but what about settings? I have a large solution that I've created a project in for common material, which includes an app.config. The problem is that a class library isn't an "app" so my functions can't get to the values. How do I get around this?
I am attempting to use the My.Computer.FileSystem namespace in a WPF VB.NET usercontrol library. I get no Intellisense etc for this namespace. I imagine I need to add a reference but no amount of googling has fixed this and VS.
I have a legal copy of a dll that I've used for years in VB6. Now I want to use it in VB.net. However, when I try to reference it, VB.net won't let me, displays an error. Tried to register the dll, got a no entry point error.
I'm creating a dll (class library project) file for an OCX. I have an OCX (not Active X, just normal ocx and no need to put on form in order to use it.) which I normally call it from normal windows project's code behind. However, in order to use this OCX, I need to install one software and register with the correct license key.
