Set Reference Path To DLL Library?
Feb 10, 2009
I want to use IWshRuntimeLibrary library to create shortcut icon, i know how to use it within the VS IDE, just add it as reference. My problem is im creating the program on the fly using CSharpCodeProvider. So how do i reference the library in my source code. it will work if i use it from VS IDE, i got some hints on the web and try it ,but it doesnt load the assembly. The line below is what i got from the web but it doesnt work . "DLLFILES" is the folder that i put the IWshRuntimeLibrary.dll AppDomain.CurrentDomain.AppendPrivatePath(Application.StartupPath + \DLLFILES); i put this line the mainusing IWshRuntimeLibrary; //refrence the library,

I was looking at tutorial that was detailing how to Build a Class Library Component and Consumer Client Application. One of the steps involved was how to add a reference to a library. Am I right in assuming that the reason for adding a reference is to show Vb where class library is located. I would also like to know if it is possible to add the reference within the code. In the tutorial the reference was added via the top menu (selecting project and add reference).

This is strange. I tried to create a new project to reference the Outlook Object Library, but I can't get the code references to work. Here's what I'm doing:
Quote:# Start Microsoft Visual Studio .NET.# On the File menu, point to New, and then click Project.# Click Visual Basic Projects under Project Types, and then click Console Application under Templates. By default, Module1.vb is created.# Add a reference to the Microsoft Outlook 12.0 Object Library. To do this, follow these steps:
1. On the Project menu, click Add Reference. 2. Click the COM tab. 3. Click Microsoft Outlook 12.0 Object Library, and then click Select 4. Click OK. If you are prompted to generate wrappers for the library that you selected, click Yes.
# In the Code window, replace the default code with the following code:

Okay normally this was easy to do, but now with IE9 Visual Studio 2010 hangs and crashes. The problem seems to be even worse because you can't build an Interop.mshtml.dll to match version 9. I've tried using the VS command prompt with no luck. Allegedly this is how it is done, but there are no known examples that actually work. If anyone has done this with success

I'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...

I have a solution built of 3 projects:
1. VB.NET Class Library - data access and objects, reusable methods, etc.
2. ASP.NET Web app - web application that references the class library
3. VB.NET Windows Form app - windows app that references the class library
I have no problems with the web app. It referenes the class library and every time the project is built the web app gets a freshly compiled dll from the class library.
My problem is with the windows form app. When I first add the reference to the class library project, I get all of the intellisense I'd expect while coding. When I try to compile, though, it's like the reference disappears and all my code that is based on the class library errors out with "'xxx' is not declared" or "'xxx' is not defined" where 'xxx' is a method or class within the class library. If I go into the project properties, the reference is still there, but the project no longer compiles and I also lose intellisense for all classes within the class library. If I remove and re-add the reference, it works again, until I try to compile. Then the errors occur again.
I've tried creating a separate Windows Forms project and just referencing the DLL created by the class library but get the same problem. HOWEVER, if I create a seperate blank WEB project and reference the dll (or the project), everything compiles fine. It seems to be something with my class library being referenced by a windows forms app.
For reference purposes, my class library has the following references:system, system.cor, system.data, system.data.datasetextensions, system.drawing, system.web, system.xml, system.xml.linq I noticed I can't add a reference to System.Web in my windows forms app, and I wonder if my problem is somewhere in this area. I need the reference is my class library because it passes some HttpContext objects back and forth to a few of the methods.

I'm a VBA programmer and can do Office integration in Office applications.I'm programming in VB in VSTS 2008 and following these steps to create an Excell application at runtime: [URL] but it is not working.The issue I'm having is when I add the reference, the library is not recognized by VBE intellisense and compiler, so: the code doesn't run.When I use late binding technique and declare variables as objects, the code runs OK, but I don't want that way.I tried adding the references in two different ways:
1 - Menu Project / Add Reference / tab COM / Microsoft Excel 11.0 Object Library / OK
2 - Menu Project / VB Properties / References / Add / Microsoft Excel 11.0 Object Library
Both methods didn't work.

Using VB.NET 2008 SP1 on Windows XP Pro SP3:
I am using an existing COM dll that works fine in VB6, on the same development machine. The VB6 app compiles and uses this dll without issue.
I start from scratch to design a new Windows Form application in VB.Net. Then when I try to add a reference to this dll, the reference is added to the references list but the path shows as <The system cannot find the reference specified>. If I select this reference in the list, the properties window shows a blank for both the reference name and the path. At the same time, a reference is added for VBA, and it shows the reference name (Interop.VBA) and path correctly.
I used dependencywalker to find the dependencies for this dll. It has 3: user32.dll, kernel32.dll, and msvbvm60.dll. So presumably I have all necessary dependent files.
I have tried un-registering, re-registering the dll. I have tried the command line switches for devenv.exe to reset settings and to launch in safe mode. I created a new user account to see if it was related.
I have tried picking the dll from the Add References, COM tab and also via the Browse tab to select the file directly. Same result all cases. I also tried putting the dll and msvbvm60.dll in my bin folder.
I don't understand how the reference name and path are missing in the properties window when the reference name is right there in the list and I select the path directly when I added it. There are no other instances of this dll registered.
I tried using tlbimp from the command prompt with verbose switch, I get the error:
System.Runtime.InteropServices.COMException - Error loading library/DLL. (Exception from HRESULT: 0x80029C4A (TYPE_E_CANTLOADLIBRAY)). I wish it would tell us what is missing.
It must be registered properly and all dependencies available for it to work in my VB6 app, Re-writing the dll is not currently an option.

Suppose I have a solution containing several projects. I set the compiling path as ..in folder. A reference file xxx.dll is used in project aaa, yyy.dll is used in project bbb etc.
xxx.dll and yyy.dll are stored in c:sharedlls folder.
My question is that if I compile the entire solution, do xxx.dll and yyy.dll are draged into ..in folder automatelly?
I am not clear the purpose of the compiling of the solution exactly.

I have added webservice support to an OLD PocketPc 2002 application written in VS2003. I don't have the ability to choose dynamic path as in VS 2005, which is the best way to switch URL from dev, test and prod environment for this application? Should I create some factory class that read a value from the app.config and return a service reference with the correct URI?

Suppose in a solution there are two projects A and B. A is a class library project, B is a console project. I set the output path of project A as ..in elease, after I compiled it, I found it is ture that a created file testA.dll is there. Just curiously I checked the folder ..indebug, it is empty. Likewise, I set the output path of project B as ..in
elease. Okay, then I add the file testA.dll to the project B and run the solution etc..
My question is that after these procedures, I found that testA.dll is also in the ..indebug of project A. And also when I checked the folder ..indebug of B, testA.dll is there as well but nothing in the ..in elease of B. I just want to know the secrets of the build path, I am always confused in the real world because there are several projects in a solution.

We 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 did some seaching and came across a few other people with the same issue. This better not be as designed and if it's a bug, which I believe it to be, when will it be fixed?[URL]..

I'm trying to upgrade a VB6 app to VB 2008. I have read the article in the tutors corner about automating Excel from VB but I cannot get it to work. Heres what I have done:
1) set a reference to the Microsoft Excel 12.0 Object Library
2) Added "Imports Excel = Microsoft.Office.Interop.Excel" to the top of the module
3) in a routine I have added: Dim X As New Excel.Application Here's where I get an error: Error 75 'Application' is ambiguous in the namespace 'Microsoft.Office.Interop.Excel'.

When the program is loaded, the error window shows the following comment: Cannot load type library for reference "ADODB". Library not registered. (Exception from HRESULT: 0x8002891/D (TYPE_E_LIBNOTREGISTERED))
Checked some forum sites and they suggested that some .dll files were corrpurted. I went back to Microsoft and resintalled the Visual Basic 2008 Express package from the Web Site.
When I tried to start my visaul basic program, the error was still in the error list.

Problem drawing dotted path lines, with even dots along the path line.I want to draw a path line that can be any shape (square, round, outline etc), and along this path line I want even dots to appear.
I also want to be able to resize the shape (as in the example attached)This is very easy to do using "DrawPath" and defining points for the path and using a pen defined as dots.The problem I have is I want the dots to be evenly placed along the path, on any shape or size I draw.In the example I have created, I create a square with 4 points and draw a dotted path.There are 2 buttons that allows me to resize the square (larger or smaller) this helps show the problem more clearly.
The path starts at the top left corner and finishes back at the top left corner, the dots are evenly placed along the path, except the final dots at the end of the path. (Sometimes the dots are even and other times they are not even).The shapes I want to draw can be any size and any shape, but I have used a square in this example to show the problem I have. point me in the direction I need to go that allows me to draw the dots and give the impression that they are even all along the path, for all shapes and sizes.
In the pictures below if you change the size of the shape, one will have even looking dots, the other will not.
