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 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 created a shared assemby MyLibray version 1.0.0.1 and installed it in gac. Again I created MyLibrary version 1.0.0.2 and installed it in gac.

View 1 RepliesI 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.

View 1 RepliesI'm using VS 2010, and I did a project using VB and a database in Access. The problem is that when I try to put that "application" on other computers, sometimes, is not working. I thought it can be because on these computers they don't have access, but on one computer, is running another app which is using Access and there is no Access installed. How can I check if my application requires Access to be installed or not?
Here is a example of how I did the connection:
Public AccessOLEDBConnString= "Provider=Microsoft.Jet.OLEDB.4.0; Data Source=" & myfullpath & ";Jet OLEDB:Database Password=password"
Function getConnection() As OleDb.OleDbConnection
[CODE]...
And when I want to have access at the data I'm doing like this:
dim conn as Oledb.OledbConnection
dim sql as string
dim ds as Dataset

I created an application using VS2008. I am having a problem on only one PC. If I log on to the PC as the domain administrator, it deploys and runs just fine. If I log on as the user I get an error that basically says "The referenced assembly is not installed on your system. (Exception from HRESULT: 0x800736B3)". The error comes when running Venodr.appref-msl. VENDOR is the name of the application. The source is System.DeploymentSystem.Runtime.InteropServices.COMException I upgraded the user to a domain administrator and it still will not run. The PC is XP SP3

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.
View 3 RepliesWe have upgraded our project from Visual Studio 2008 to Visual Studio 2010 without any issues until now. Our project contains a folder call Libraries which contains different versions of Oracle ODP.NET DLL's as well as different versions of Telerik DLL's. Our project contains references to one of the versions of each. The problem is once we remove the reference and re-add it by browsing to the new version, again inside the Libraries folder inside the project, it adds the reference, but to the same version we just removed. We can even copy the DLL to our desktop, remove the reference and add to the new one on our desktop and it still will point to the Libraries folder version???. The only we we can actual change the reference to the new DLL is by manually changing the path in the .vbproj file, which is obviously not going to work for us. The same behaviour worked perfectly in VS 2008. We switch our references quite often, when new versions come out, but also far more often to QA different versions of ODP.NET and Telerik Control DLL's, so manually editing the .vbproj file is becoming quickly cumbersome. If I browse to a specific version at a specific path, Visual Studio should ALWAYS do what I'm telling it to do..

I agreed to trade some code with my wife (her SQL for my .NET), but I am running to an issue on my side. I have taken some old vb that she is needing converted to .NET and made it work, but there are two lines of code:
DoCmd.SetWarnings(False)
'and
DoCmd.SetWarnings(True)
I have found out that these are objects related to using Access, but i can't figure out how to use them in .NET. It seems that, in the original code, they are used without instantiation, but I get the "Reference to a non-shared member requires an object reference" on those two lines of code. I have never worked with Access before, but it seems like it would be a simple fix if I just knew exactly what was having its warnings enabled/disabled.
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.

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.)
MY understanding is like this, for the "website type" of projects:for VB, the default setting for the namespaces and the default setting for references are both stored in C:WindowsMicrosoft.NetFrameworkV4.0.30319ConfigWeb.config.
but C# does not seem to use this global web.config file to store its default namespaces and references settings. One evidence is that you see a lot of "using ..." statements at the top of all C# files whereas you don't see many "imports ..." statements at the top of all VB files. So C# stores the namespace settings in individual .cs files, but where does C# store the reference settings then? Or the C# compiler knows all the reference without having to store it somewhere?
I want to create a vb.net project that I will use to only hold image and string resources that I will need in multiple projects.What I can't figure out is how do I access these resources using code from other projects.
