Hi Bruce: I am not familiar with most of those technicals but will blast
through google to get a flavor for what you are using.
To add a dll to a vb.net project you copy the dll into a folder, I usually put
them in the same folder as the executable I am going to distribute. Then in the
vb.net IDE under the Project Menu you clickthe Add Reference MenuItem. A tabbed
window comes up. Tab to th list of tabbs, right or left arrow to the browse
option and tab to the navigate fields. Navigate to wher you put the dll and
just hit enter to add a reference to it in the project. You will then see it
listed in the References node under Solution Explorer and you are good to go.
When you distro the project you send the dll to the client by adding it to
whatever distro package you are using and put it into the same folder where the
executable will be loaded and all should be right with the world if the DLL
works in testing.
That is
All I know about adding a DLL to a project. Perhaps I will understand better
what you are doing after I look up a few terms I was not familiar with reading
your post - not your fault, a lack of my knowledge on those subjects.
Anyway. it sounds like you are getting pretty good at programming in Python
which is a popular and powerful scripting language.
Later and I hope this helps.
