creating dll for my project

[Guest]

I'm trying to create a dll (vb) that I can add to my ASP.NET project, thus
encapsulating and protecting (from viewing) the code (class).
In VS 6.0 this was easy, create a project as a dll and write your code then
save and compile. Register it, then my asp pages would see the objects and I
was good to go. The run time files would be added automatically.
Now in VS.NET I create a .vb file with my code and it appears I have to
manually compile it to create the dll. I first moved my .vb file to the same
directory as the vbc.exe file to compile it. I then used suggested command
line arguments but keep getting errors. I've tried to reference the
appropriate references but I still get errors. I.e. response is not declared,
but I reference system.web.dll and system.dll ???????????
There has to be an easier way. What am I missing? thanx.
Ideally, I would liek to create this via the VS.NET enviroment, ie.e like VS
6.0.

You can right-click on the solution, and add a new project.
Put the code for your dll in the project.
Then, right-click on the "References" folder for the first project, and add
a reference to your new project (on the third tab on the add reference
dialog).

In your main project, declare a variable as new <dll name>.function (where
<dll name> is the name of your dll).

When ytou deploy your project, it should put the dll in the appropriate
folder.

This should at least get you started.

Good luck!

it's still looking for a dll reference, not a .vb file.

Try This In your DLL
- whenever you've used Response.Write make it
HttpContext.Current.Response.Write
