Thanks for the reply. I've always hand-coded my sites, but I'm slowly switching to VS, and so I'm not familiar with how to do a lot of things in VS. I did right-click the project and selected Add Reference. I then switched to the browse tab and found the .DLL. As you said, it did copy the file to the bin folder in my project. I am working with the first example on the site http://www.ujihara.jp/iTextdotNET/en/examplesvb.html, I do not use code behind, so I've modified the page as follows:
<%@ Page Language="VB" %> <!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Transitional//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-transitional.dtd";> <%@ Import Namespace="System" %> <%@ Import Namespace="com.lowagie.text" %> <%@ Import Namespace="com.lowagie.text.pdf" %> <%@ Import Namespace="System.IO" %> <script runat="server"> Sub Page_Load() Console.WriteLine("Chapter 1 example 1: Hello World") ' step 1: creation of a document-object Dim document As New Document() ' step 2: ' we create a writer that listens to the document ' and directs a PDF-stream to a file PdfWriter.getInstance(document, New FileStream("Chap0101.pdf", FileMode.Create)) ' step 3: we open the document document.open() ' step 4: we add a paragraph to the document document.add(New Paragraph("Hello World")) ' step 5: we close the document document.close() End Sub </script> HTML code continues from her down. When I try to build the page, I get the error, "Namespace or type specified in the Imports 'com.lowagie.text' doesn't contain any public member or cannot be found. Make sure the namespace or the type is defined and contains at least one public member. Make sure the imported element name doesn't use any aliases." I have a feeling it's not defined, but I have no idea how to define a name space?? How do I resolve this issue? I will probably find a VB forum as well to post my question to, but I appreciate any help you can offer.

You just need to add a reference to the project (browse to the DLL) and add a using statement to the file. That second part is optional if you don't mind fully quailifying it with its namespace. VS should then copy the DLL to your bin folder automatically. HTH.

I've found a page with lots of good examples, but no instructions that I can find in installing this and getting it running. I've copied the itextsharp.dll file into my bin folder, and I'm assuming that I need to put something int the web.config file to make it accessible to the rest of the app, then the examples I found may work, however, I have no idea what to put in the web.config file. Can someone help me out?
