The Solution Rating System

With so many solutions, how can you tell which solutions are most likely to help you and which ones are not? To provide you with a tool to use, we rate our solutions based on various elements that most accurately determine if a solution is a quality solution. To explain what factors affect the solution rating, here are the elements we take into consideration when formulating our solution rating.

  • The Grade of the Solution
  • The Zone Rank of the Expert Providing the Solution
  • The Number of Author and Expert Comments
  • The Number of Experts Contributing
  • The Feedback of the Community

Your Input Matters
Because of the way the system is set up, the most important variable in this equation is you. As a member of Experts Exchange, you are able to cast your vote on the quality of the solutions in regard to how complete, accurate, helpful and easy to understand each solution is. When you provide your feedback, each rating is adjusted accordingly. So, if you see a solution that has a poor rating that you think is a good solution, let us know by rating it. As you do, the rating will be adjusted and will become more accurate for other members of our site.

If you have any suggestions that you would like to make for our rating system, please ask a question in the Suggestions Zone of Community Support.

VB6 To VB.NET DLL Conversion Issue, Should be easy

Asked by Porka in Microsoft Visual Basic.Net

Tags: vb6, conversion, intranet, net

Hi all

Im still getting used to programming in VB.Net and am having major issues with my software since moving to .Net and im sure that this will be a simple thing to fix im just not sure how. My software under vb6 relies on a DLL that contains licensing information and configuration information compiled for each site that runs it. Under vb6 i would reference the dll with multiple projects that used it and recompile either the programs or the actual dll itself and i would never have a conflict on machines as long as the dll was registered using regsvr32. Now move to .NET. I have created a .NET version of the DLL and made references to it ok in the software. My problem is that if i recompile the DLL or the software and dont reference the custimers dll the software will throw an exception at start time(One i dont know how to trap as yet so it crashes), the only way i have been able to get the software to run is to recompile each program with that sites dll and distribute them which, i will need to do to 50 sites.

Im hoping i can do something similar to what i did in vb6 whereby i can compile the DLL so that no matter whether the DLL is recompliled or the software calling it is recompiled it will work. The DLL is normally located on the client machine and is installed in the GAC but im obviously doing something wrong. I dont want to have to recomplile each one with the clients version of the dll obviosuly. The software calling this dll is normally located on a network server. The security level for the framework allows local intranet full control of the machine. Experts please HELP

Thanks in advance
