Compilation problem for component

[Bob H]

Hi,

I've a simple component that references another component (that I've
compiled into a dll):
Imports myapp.MyClass 'compiled into Data1
Imports System
Namespace Data2
.....etc
End Namespace

I'm trying to compile Data2 using "vbc /t:library /r:System.dll,Data1.dll
data2.vb" using the DOS commandline and it's not finding the data1.dll
library (I'm in the application dir). I've tried putting the data1.dll in
the app directory and the /bin dir, but still the same problem.

Any clues please as to where I'm going wrong?

Thanks

Bob

What error? Does it say something about namespaces? If so, you need to use
an /imports for the namespace as well as a reference for the dll.

I managed to find the library by adding the Data1 dll as a reference to the
project (which I hadn't done - I thought I could reference dll's using
MyApp.Data1) - through Project/Add reference/Projects. Am I right in
thinking that all separate components that I compile need to to be added to
the Project this way? I'm now getting the following error:

Error BC30389 Data1.Property is not accessible in this context because it is
Private.
I've been able to work with the properties of the Data1 component okay if I
import the .vb file of Data1 (Imports Myapp.Data1). As soon as I reference
the dll version (Imports Data1), I'm getting the above error.

Any clues?

Thanks.

if I make my classes in the components Public, it works okay - I had
declared a few as Friends. Should this have caused this type fo error?

Thanks.
