Use local DLL in designer - custom control

Question

I have developed a wrapper for Cards.dll enhanced and turned it into a custom control for a card game I'm working on.  The problem I'm having is that I can get the game to display the cards if I run the app, but I don't have any luck seeing the cards in the designer.  It's throwing an exception stating that it can't find the DLL in the designer view for my form.

Where would I need to place the DLL so that the designer can see it?

Thanks

Answer 1

You can not add a reference to cards.dll as far as I can see...

I would like to know where I need to place the cards.dll (from an earlier version of windows) so that the designer can use it to render my cards.

Hi there, try this,

u have to add the dll to your project reference,

and if u have a custom control in that dll, u will find it in your Toolbox - > general tab
