VB.NET 2003 Standard Classes & DLL Creation

[Paul Woodward]

Can the standard edition of VB.NET 2003 create DLL's? I have purchased the
standard edition while I re-teach myself the VB language but I am struggling
to create references to a class which is in the same Solution but in a
different Project because it complains that the Class is not a DLL.

Any idea's if it is because I have the standard edition or I am doing
something wrong?

Here is the exact error message: -

====
A reference to 'Class Name' could not be added. An assembly must have a
'dll' extension in order to be referenced.
====

Kind Regards,

Paul,

To create a DLL, select ClassLibrary as the project type on a new project
wizard. You will then need to Add a Reference to your classlibrary from your
existing project.

No.

"Workarounds":

Open the ".vbproj" file in notepad and change the 'outputtype' to 'library'.

Alternatively, you can use this add-in for Visual Basic .NET Standard:
