Use CSC.exe (C# compiler) to compile ur code in to a module using the Target switch. Then use AL.exe (assembly linker) to link the module to ur assembly.

C# does not support the concept of modules as VB.NET does. AFAIK the module concept is a hang over from the old VB6 days and the VB.NET compiler does some fudging when converting the VB.NET code into MSIL in order to get it to work. I did read an interesting article on the subject a week or two back, however I cannot find it otherwise I would have linked to it.

I mean CSC /target:module Never used VB & don't know how a module in VB differs from module in dotNet.

hi I have got the information from msdn but that is purely related to console application. How will i do that in windows application using c#.net. My requirement is : I need to access a variable globally where the changes are done dynamically and that has to be reflected in all the other forms in that solution file. example: A variable a=10 is accessed globally. During runtime i ll change the variable,a=20 in a different form. how will this reflect in all the other forms unless i declare the globle variable in a module. if i declare the variable by giving public static a i can access globally, but i cannot do the changes dynamically. hope i ll get your help. thanks, sarayu.
