View 1 RepliesI have a Class Library project with a appSettings.config file included into the project. The file is not embedded. So I have a ClassLibrary.dll with a appSettings.config beside in the bin.I have another project which is a Web Service. It has a reference on ClassLibrary.dll with a Copy Local=true. When I build the Web Service, the ClassLibrary.dll is brought into the bin of the Web Service. However, the .config doesn't follow.Do I need to do some postbuild event to copy the .config file or there is another setting I can set?

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...
In my earlier project I was able to change the connection string during the app settings loaded event and it was successfully. When I try to do the same for a code library project, I am not getting the system.configuration.connectionstringsettings to work. Could you please tell if there is a work around for this, or else it is always better to write the sql code instead of depending on the adapters etc.

I'm working on a windows form project where the first form displays a menu list made up of custom textbox controls. When the user navigates to a textbox and presses enter the underlying code runs another form and hides the menu form. The form to run and the navigations sequence is controlled by properties I added to the custom textbox. I have done the same with a custom button. Both custom control inherit from their respective Windows.forms controls.

View 2 RepliesI 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?
I am just testing how to use dll and after googling a lot, I made it work partially...Created new project Class Library, named it myFirstDll and made a Public Shared Sub helloDll to do something. Now since this is my first time, the dll is simply showing the input in a msgbox:
Public Shared Sub helloDll(ByVal msg As String)
If msg <> "" Then
MsgBox(msg, MsgBoxStyle.OkOnly, "WE HAVE SOME MSG")
Else
MsgBox(msg, MsgBoxStyle.OkOnly, "NO MSG")
End If
End Sub
After building the dll-file, I started a new project using normal windows forms, named it "useMyDll", I clicked Project -> Add Reference, and added my dll. The program file that I made needed a textbox and a button for using the dll:
Private Sub useDllButton1_Click(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles useDllButton1.Click
Dim msg As String = Nothing
msg = TextBox1.Text
myFirstDll.myFirstDLL.helloDll(msg) 'this will be in msgbox in dll-file
End Sub
And when running this I could write something in the textbox and a msgbox with that input would pop up. Really happy with that. My first attempt to make a dll and use it was very successful. Then I thought, what about running the dll from rundll32.exe? It would be handy to make a dll that could be run without my exe. After googling a long time, I tried to add a new button:
Private Sub useDllButton2_Click(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles useDllButton2.Click
'Now let us see if we can open it using rundll32.exe ?
Dim msg As String = Nothing
msg = TextBox1.Text
[CODE]...
Now the first button still works just fine, but the second button gives some error (translated to english would be) like "missing entry: helloDll" I also tried to open with command prompt, same result.
After googling again I read one place that you can't run a visual basic dll with rundll32.exe, so is this true? Or is there some way of doing it? I read one place that it works if you make the dll be "COM-Visible", but I don't really understand how to or what it means. I tried to open properties, clicked Assembly Information, and "Make assembly COM-Visible", but this doesn't change anything. Then I read somewhere that it has to be in a module to work. Could it be that I need to rewrite some codes and it would work, or would I have to start learning c++ in order to accomplish this?
Public Function Add(ByVal Number1 As Integer, ByVal Number2 As Integer)
Try
Return Number1 + Number2
