Hi

I'm following an article (here) and stuck on the following:

"Once you have created this class and compiled it, to use it in an ASP.NET Web application, start by adding it to the Web application's References folder."

Ok, so do i now need to compile my vb class file into a .dll and reference it from the BIN folder?  If so how do i compile the vb file?  I'm running VS 2005 .net 2.0

 cheers
 

In the build menu select build.  It will compile the code into a dll.

 Hi

I have put my .vb class file into the Bin, how ever when i go to 'Build/Build Website' i get errors that it can't see the class, eg:

"Could not load file or assembly 'ActionlessForm' or one of its dependencies. The system cannot find the file specified."

 Don't i need to compile it separately then add it as a reference?

cheers 

Friend, Compile that class separatley and then add the reference to that dll. That will solve the problem.

hi

I tried creating a new class library project, but it comes up with errors when i try to compile the follwoing:

using System;
using System.Collections.Generic;
using System.Text;
using System.Web;

namespace ActionlessForm
{
    public class Form : System.Web.UI.HtmlControls.HtmlForm
    {
        protected override void RenderAttributes(HtmlTextWriter writer)
        {
            writer.WriteAttribute("name", this.Name);
            base.Attributes.Remove("name");

            writer.WriteAttribute("method", this.Method);
            base.Attributes.Remove("method");

            this.Attributes.Render(writer);

            base.Attributes.Remove("action");

            if (base.ID != null)
                writer.WriteAttribute("id", base.ClientID);
        }
    }
}

 
 ....and i get the following errors:

 Error    1    The type or namespace name 'UI' does not exist in the namespace 'System.Web' (are you missing an assembly reference?)    C:\Documents and Settings\G Mattock\My Documents\Visual Studio 2005\Projects\ISAPIReWritePostBack\ISAPIReWritePostBack\Class1.cs    8    36    ISAPIReWritePostBack

Error    2    The type or namespace name 'HtmlTextWriter' could not be found (are you missing a using directive or an assembly reference?)    C:\Documents and Settings\G Mattock\My Documents\Visual Studio 2005\Projects\ISAPIReWritePostBack\ISAPIReWritePostBack\Class1.cs    10    50    ISAPIReWritePostBack
 

Please let me know if you got any answers on this question.
I got stuck at this exact point too.
Thx
