Sorry. That trick does work with a homegrown User Control dll. This will definitely work...Add an Existing Item to your project. Navigate to where your class object code module is. Select it and hit the down arrow next to the "Open" button. Choose "Link File" and it will connect that code module to the current project.

Just right click on a property or method of the class object and choose "Definition". You will then be taken to the class itself. Not working here. I am taken to the object browser and shown the properties and methods of the object, but not the object. I referenced the DLL however. I did not see a way to reference the actual "source" (project).

The really cool part about all this is that any changes you make to the class object will automatically be picked up by any other project that references that class dll.

Colby Sent: Friday, July 22, 2005 11:24 AM To: dba-vb at databaseadvisors.com Subject: [dba-VB] Add executable solution to project I am working on a set of classes in a project which need Imports System.Data.OleDb Imports System.Data Imports System.Collections I was developing them in a class library, and all is cool. However I can't just throw a form in there and run the thing to test it, I get a "cannot be started directly" error. So... I tried just copying the classes (all in one module, THAT is cool) into a window project. Of course(?) now the imports don't work. Sigh. So I created a Window project and referenced the dll from my class library. That is cool as well, however... I really want to interactively debug the class library. The error message when trying to run the class library code (directly) says to "add an executable project to this solution which references the library project". I can't seem to find any way to directly add my window project (which references the class library) to the class library solution. Anybody know how to do this? This BTW is exactly why I have never gotten anywhere with .net so far. I promptly get bogged down in details with no readily available help. John W.
