Shared Assemblies - doubt
Hi,
Could u explain me how to create a shared assemblies.
Below are steps which i have followed to create a shared assembly ,but still now didn't succeed.
Expecting ur support..
1. Created a DLL [TestLib]
2. Created a strong name using the utility sn.exe
3. In TestLib.dll project edited the AssemblyInfo.cs included the strong name[key value pair]
as below.
[assembly: AssemblyKeyFile("../../test.snk")]
4. After then recompiled the project.
5. using gacutil.exe i have installed the TestLib.dll into GAC[c:\winnt\assembly]
6. Now,i have created a new project and wants to use the dll TestLib which i have created
and placed in GAC
7. I couldn't able to find the TestLib.dll ,i tried of using and AddReference?
error which i got when i tried of using.
using TestLib; -- throws an error [TestLib could not found(missing directive or reference]
Reference->AddReference->.NET->Browse[C:\winnt\assembly] coudln't able to open.
Hope you peoples guide me,where i am wrong.
