well, actually i am new with vb.net
just asking the correct steps for generating dll from vb.net
in vb 6.0 -> i just click the button compile to 'something'.dll
in vb.net -> by building the project
however, after i generated the dll (vb.net)
i can not add them into component services (COM+)
is it a violation for adding dll (vb.net) into COM+?
or just my working steps are wrong
sorry, by the way... i am using Microsoft Visual Basic 2005 Express Edition
thank you :)
You cannot add .NET dlls into COM+, the .NET framework is a REPLACEMENT for COM.
You put your .NET dll's in the GAC (Global Assembly Cache) using GacUtil.exe
I'm vague on the details cos I've never had need to do it, because you don;t HAVE to put your .NET dll's in the GAC to use them, if they're in the same directory as the project that references them the CLR can find and load it.
oic.....thanks anyway
Hi,
You can generate wrapper COM objects for your .Net classes just like you can import COM objects with wrapper .Net classes (google it or look for Interop on MSDN) but you have to have .Net Framework installed on the machines you deploy the COM wrapper dll.
