DLL Newby Questions...

[Guest]

Hi,

I had to convert a Win32 EXE project with some forms and classes into a DLL Project.
When I instace the new DLL project from a test program I see all forms and classes...
There is any way to just see one class, for example some forms and classes are only private and only one is public.

I have a method in one DLL class that opens a form.
I need to pass a ref variable to that form. there is any way to do this?
Example: Form OForm = new frmTest();
OForm.Show(I need to pass a ref variable);


Thanks for your help,
Bernardo

Just declare all the other classes as internal - in fact, just leaving
out the modifier entirely will always make whatever you're declaring as
private as makes sense, in C#, which I love.

Why not pass it to the constructor instead? I'm not really sure of what
you're after here. You also need to be clear about the difference
between a reference type variable, and passing a parameter by
reference. See http://www.pobox.com/~skeet/csharp/parameters.html

Nice page -- very clear.

I found a minor error though -- under the "Reference parameters"
heading there is a sentence that reads, "Rather creating a new storage
location for the variable in the function member declaration, [...]".

Should that be, "Rather than creating a new..."?

Yup - thanks for that, I've fixed it now.
