Hi Experts,<br />
<br />
I'm running VS2013 Ultimate.<br />
<br />
From time to time I have customers that run the .exe file from a folder that does not have the required DLLs in it.<br />
<br />
This throws an unhandled error something like:<br />
<br />

<pre><code id="code-10-28936276-1">System.IO.FileNotFoundException: Could not load file or assembly 'Skybound.VisualTips, Version=1.0.2.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=f2d73a45b3e75a83' or one of its dependencies. The system cannot find the file specified.</code></pre>
How can I handle these errors gracefully - so I can give my user an informative &nbsp;message?<br />
<br />
I assume I would need to code a list of the required DLLs because ystem.IO.FileNotFoundExcep<wbr />tion errors could be triggered by other file types.<br />
<br />

VB.Net Project - how to gracefully handle errors resulting from missing DLLs

Visual Basic .NET (VB.NET) is an object-oriented programming language implemented on the .NET framework, but also supported on other platforms such as Mono and Silverlight. Microsoft launched VB.NET as the successor to the Visual Basic language. Though it is similar in syntax to  Visual Basic pre-2002, it is not the same technology,

Visual Basic.NET

The .NET Framework is not specific to any one programming language; rather, it includes a library of functions that allows developers to rapidly build applications. Several supported languages include C#, VB.NET, C++ or ASP.NET.

.NET Programming

Microsoft Visual C++ (often abbreviated as MSVC or VC++) is an integrated development environment (IDE) product from Microsoft for the C, C++, and C++/CLI programming languages. It features tools for developing and debugging C++ code, especially code written for the Microsoft Windows API, the DirectX API, and the Microsoft .NET Framework. Many applications require redistributable Visual C++ packages to function correctly and are often installed independently of applications, allowing multiple applications to make use of the package while only having to install it once
