Hi! I am making class in vb.net and compiled to a DLL no problem there. My question is in the reference part how can I add a Class.class like the one in a references System.XML, System.Data... I want to make my class appear like that, MyClass.Data.

Solution 1

Right click on references in solution explorer -> Add reference ->
Browse to your dll -> Click OK.

BTW System.Data, System.Xml are dll files.

Solution 2

if you need your class appear like System.Some.Things ...
use just Namespaces Creating and using Namespaces in VB.NET and C# and add your assembly (dll) to another project to test it

Hi!, I tried it did not work, it still show as a class in reference not a class.class.

can you give us more details!
example "System.Xml" is not "class.class" this "Namespace.Namespace"
(System = namespace, Xml = namespace)

This is my sample code

Namespace MyNameSpace
Public Class thisClass
Public Function TestMSG()
MsgBox("This is a Test")
Return Nothing
End Function
End Class
End Namespace

after compiled to myClass.dll and create a new project add this in the reference...
it only shows in reference as "myClass" not "myClass.myNameSpace".

by default if you create a project with this name "myClass.myNameSpace" add you add it as reference (right click ->add reference -> project).
you can see "myClass.myNameSpace" in reference list.
