References

[ssingh]

I'm new to VB.NET/ASP.NET. I am required to work on a maintenance project in ASP.NET using web forms.
It has a defined an object
Dim objDBService As New DBService.Connection()
I get an error 'Type DBService.connection is not defined'
and I don't see if it is a Dll/class included in this project.
Please advice where shall I look for it if I can't find it in the references in the solution explorer.

What is DBService? Is that a class you made? Or a DLL you made?

That's what I do not know. This code is not written by me but some other programmer, I have just been given the zip file.

So you have the code for the DBService class? Then either cut and paste it into your other project or better yet compile it into a dll and then reference it. You'll need to browse to the location of the dll to add it to the list of references.

I have already checked, I do not have it in any of the folders provided, it is being referenced couple of times. It probably contains all database connection information ..

Ok I am confused here. You have it referenced in other projects, how did you set those references if you can't set this one? Also if you select a reference in the list of references then it shows the path to the assembly in the properties dialog (lower right).
