TagLib MP3 tag Reader get this error: Type 'TagLib.File' is not defined. (On website, outside of VS)
I am using TagLib from here: http://download.banshee.fm/taglib-sharp/ (https://github.com/mono/taglib-sharp)
I have it working within VS.
However, I am designing a website with it, and I need it to run on the website.
When I created the project within VS, and Referenced the .dll files
It put the dll files inside of:
BIN
taglib-sharp.dll
taglib-sharp.dll.refresh
The Bin folder is also located on the website.
I added all these and they are all grayed out.
Tells me they are not necessary
Imports TagLib
Imports TagLib.IFD
Imports TagLib.IFD.Tags
Imports TagLib.Xmp
I also registered the .dll file with Windows, using the following command.
%windir%\microsoft.net\framework\v2.0.50727\regasm G:\InetPub\wwwroot\Media\WebSite1\Bin\taglib-sharp.dll /codebase
And I still get the error.
Type 'TagLib.File' is not defined.
Any idea's on this would be great.

1. a reference to the assembly(ies) was not registered to the project
2. the namespace is not being properly declared in the project
Reference link: https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/sy234eat.aspx
Are you coding in C# or VB.NET?

VB
I tried doing this
Namespace TagLib
end namespace
And I get a label1 is not declared
This is a sample of the test project I have.
Namespace TagLib
Partial Class _Default
Inherits System.Web.UI.Page
Protected Sub Page_Load(sender As Object, e As EventArgs) Handles Me.Load
Dim mp3 As TagLib.File = TagLib.File.Create("G:\VS_Lessons\Media\WebSite1\01Fantasy.mp3")
Dim strTitle As String = mp3.Tag.Title
Dim strDuration As String = mp3.Properties.Duration.ToString("mm\:ss")
Dim strYear As String = mp3.Tag.Year
Dim strTrackNumber As String = mp3.Tag.Track
Dim strAlbum As String = mp3.Tag.Album
'Dim strArtist As String = mp3.Tag.Artists
Dim strGenre As String = mp3.Tag.FirstGenre
Label1.Text = "Album: " + strAlbum
mp3.Dispose()
End Sub
End Class
End Namespace
(Added the Inherits="TagLib._Default"
<%@ Page Language="VB" AutoEventWireup="false" CodeFile="Default.aspx.vb" Inherits="TagLib._Default" %>
Fixed the error with the Label1.
However, still getting
error: Type 'TagLib.File' is not defined
However, that did not work either.
I knew from working with Delphi development years ago, that if you work with a 3rd DLL file, then you have to reference it and distribute that file with your package to the consumer.
So, with that thinking.
I did research on Google for asp.net DLL on webpage.
And I found this link
https://blogs.msdn.microsoft.com/tolong/2006/11/16/how-to-get-your-publickeytoken/
You have to run it as Administrator, and it works like a charm.
Have a good one.
I am completely psyched now. You all just have no idea.
This is so exciting, now I get to work on designing the site around this.
Years in the planning and I finally have the knowledge.
LOVE IT!!!!!!!
