Hi,
I have written a number of vb modules that I use in several of my applications. I would like to put these modules in a dll file, so I can simply include that in future projects.
To do this, I've been looking in the MSDN, but several things are not clear to me.
- There seems to be a difference between single file and multi file assemblies. Is an multi file assembly an assembly that consists of several dll files, or does it mean it has several source files?
- The MSDN states Visual Studio can be used to make single file assemblies, but I can't find how... And for mulit file assemblies you need a compiler (vbc for vb files?) but where can I find that compiler?
- Many assemblies have a tree-like structure (ex. the system assembly: to use the Input/Output you need to include System.IO). I want to use this in my assembly. I have a security module and a custom input/output module. I would like to have these in my assembly (called tsd.dll) like this: tsd.security and tsd.IO But how do I do this?
If anyone can nudge me in the right direction with this... Or maybe someone knows a good tutoriol or article about this? I haven't found one yet...
