Building Assembly

[DISP Jol]

Hi All, I am trying to create a Assembly(DLL)from .cs file that references other DLL's .. In my .cs file I include references by using USING .. eg.. using CrystalDecisions.Shared; However when I try to build it into an assembly using CSC I get an error stating "Type or namespace could not be found" Can anyone tell me how to resolve this.. Thanks JOel

What development environment are you using? In Visual Studio C# project you need to "Add a Reference" to the other DLL's you are "using".

I am using Visual Studio C# (Empty Project Template) and added reference to other DLL,s....However when trying to build assembly using CSC from command prompt I get the error.. Thanks Joel

The using statement here is a shortcut only. It saves you having to type in System.IO.Path... It does not automatically add the references to the DLLs into the build process. Even though you have added the references into your csproj file, if you are building from the command line using the csc option, you need to add the references into the csc command manually. Alternatively, have you considered using a makefile to build from?

the last thing I want to see is some pasty-faced geek with skin so pale that it's almost translucent trying to bump parts with a partner - John Simmons / outlaw programmer
Deja View - the feeling that you've seen this post before.

Do as Pete says below.

Can't you just point MSBUILD at a visual studio project file?

:) I use C# EE. I do it the following: having a Solution called "Application" I inserted two projects. 1. WindowsForm (Executable) 1. Class1 Class (as DLL) The Assemblies must be referenced to the DLL you use. My WindowsForm Application gets the Ref to Class1.DLL. Then my Application has to include: **using** Class1; The same works if I would handle another DLL instead of my executable WindowsForm. If you use more DLLs make sure they are "cross"-referenced, but don't overdrive... ;)

I use the following command.. csc /t:module Report.cs /r: C:\Crystal\CrystalDecisions.CrystalReports.Design.dll;C:\Crystal\CrystalDecisions.CrystalReports.Engine.dll;C:\Crystal\CrystalDecisions.Shared.dll;C:\Crystal\CrystalDecisions.Web.dll But I get an error saying these files could not be found.. I verified the path of these files and its right... Cant understand what m i doin wrong here Joel

Pete, I was able to create a DLL using the /r option...I added reference to the dll in my web project and also used USING statement on my web form...However the Intellisense doesnt work with the classes in this assembly... Joel
