Class Library

[Dorothy]

I tried out my first class Library in .NET.
Did the following:
1. File >New>Class library

2. Added this code:

Public Class Class1
Public Sub funk()
MsgBox("anand called")
End Sub
End Class

3. F5 (Run application) with an exe.
which had the following code:

Private Sub Button1_Click(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles Button1.Click
Dim a As New Object()
a = CreateObject("ClassLibrary1.Class1")
End Sub

But when I click the button It says: Cannot create ActiveX component.

Any help?

Note: It succesfully creates a Dll in Debug and Bin Directory.

Try early binding instead.

Make a reference in the text program to the dll. Then dim your object as the class type instead of as the generic object.

'after the reference is set
Private Sub Button1_Click(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles Button1.Click
   Dim a As New NamespaceOfClassHere.Class1()
   a.funk()
End Sub

Yeah you definitely want to use early binding.There is really no need to use late binding in your case. Using late binding would give you a performance hit because any method calls on a late bound object would have to be resolved at runtime vs at compile time.

It does'nt work either. I get the same error

Are you sure you used the right namespace? You can find the namespace by right clicking on the project and going to its properties, it should look like the attached. Then the reference should take care of it.
