VB .NET BC30002 VB.NET Type is not defined

[rex64]

I had this working in the past but something must have changed. This could be related to a circular dependency, but I resolved that by pointing to the built DLL. Visual Studio 2017


Error I am getting:
BC30002 VB.NET Type is not defined


Things I tried:
1. Cleaning solution and re-building
2. Making sure .NET framework are identical
3. Rebooting computer
4. Posting here, but no answer yet: https://stackoverflow.com/posts/66402158/edit

Dim overlay As StudyCSharp.OverlayQuestion = New StudyCSharp.OverlayQuestion  'Object   'set it to object to avoid circular dependency
'Dim overlay As Object = CreateObject("StudyCSharp.OverlayQuestion") 'Keep to avoid early binding with circular dependency

It might be a lot easier if you could get rid of the circular dependency, otherwise this is going to be a recurring issue.

Without knowing any more about the specifics though it is pretty hard to offer any actual suggestions beyond that.

We re-wrote the code to solve. We did have some minor success by adding the DLLs to the build folder manually but it only worked on 1 computer.

It only worked on one computer? Did you distribute the DLLs with the .EXE?
