Ceating dlls

ok, someone said i need vS 2005 to create dlls.

i got a copy, all i need is the know how.

can anyone help me out?

edit: I can spell create

 

create a class library. Write all code in there, and when you want to call it from another application, just add your DLL on references.

 

yep, got it

is it possible to do something like (Main.Listbox1.items.add "lol")

Because when i add it to the class i get error "Main is not declared"

 

is main your dll? remember that vb.net is object oriented, so you will have to declare a new one like this:

Code:

Dim myLibrary As New Main()
myLibrary.Listbox1.Items.Add("bwahaha")

Also remember to have a constructor in the Main() class, like this:

Code:

Public Sub New()
'put initialization code here (if you have any)
End Sub

 

Let me rephrase


is it possible to do something like (Form1.Listbox1.items.add "lol")

Because when i add it to the class i get error "Form1 is not declared"

 

You need to use "Me" if the method is in the same form. If is from a module, use "My.Forms.{Forms name}".

Edit: Since when did I have a VB programming rank?

 

and since when did i lose my rank?

 

umm, i mean in the dll theres this code

Code:

Public Function ADD() As Integer Implements _Tester.ADD
Form1.Listbox1.items.add "lol"
End Function

I want to add "lol" in a listbox using the dll

but it says form1 not declerde

how can i solve this?

 

the DLL doesn't know what form that is.

Code:

Public Function ADD(control As ListBox) As Integer Implements _Tester.ADD
control.items.add "lol"
End Function

Use it that way instead, and call it like:
ADD(listbox1)

 

u got the idea right

yer but now it says "listbox not defined"

waaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa
