Create class in standard version

[Ellis Yu]

Hi all,

I bought a vb.net a week ago and started to practice it. But I found
something to get me shocked that I could not find a place to create my class
library. After checking from the help files, it seems it can't work in
standard version. Am I right? If so, is there upgrade version for visual
basic only, I don't want to upgrade to visual studio edition since i don't
need vc, vj etc.... Please help.

Best Rdgs
Ellis

Open the .vbproj file in notepad and make the following changes to the
Settings section:

OutputType = "Library"
StartupObject = ""

Now reload/reopen your project and the next time you compile you will have a
..dll

Original Setting Section
<Settings
ApplicationIcon = ""
AssemblyKeyContainerName = ""
AssemblyName = "YourAppName"
AssemblyOriginatorKeyFile = ""
AssemblyOriginatorKeyMode = "None"
DefaultClientScript = "JScript"
DefaultHTMLPageLayout = "Grid"
DefaultTargetSchema = "IE50"
DelaySign = "false"
OutputType = "WinExe"
OptionCompare = "Binary"
OptionExplicit = "On"
OptionStrict = "Off"
RootNamespace = "YourAppName"
StartupObject = "Form1"
