How to create a Basic4ppc library

It will! It's the Basic4ppc library loading code that ignores classes beginning with underscores and it doesn't know, or care, what language generated the library. For some reason Erel wrote Basic4ppc to load both Public and Private classes from a library (backward compatibility maybe) but then added the "ignore underscore" code later so that stuff that you don't want to see in "Add Object" can be hidden although, and especially with VB.NET, on larger libraries you may get some classes that the compiler of the library has added showing up.

Trying to write a mine control for basic4ppc i try the scrollbar example of Erel.I open the class in visual studio 2008 and i build it without change anything.When i try to load the dll in a basic4ppc project this error message appears "An error occured.Unable to load one or more of the requested types.Retrieve the LoaderExceptions property for more information."What am i doing wrong;

Can you upload the dll (zip it first)?

It works on the desktop. Does it fail on the device? Did you choose a "Smart device" project?

It works fine on my iPAQ 214 as well.

I restart the pc and everything is ok now (very curious indeed) Thank's Erel and Agraham

Hi. How can I get rid of the MyProject class that keeps showing up in my Visual Basic.net project? I'm using Visual Studio 2008, and because there is already a DLL added that has a MyProject class in it Basic4ppc says that a key with myproject was added. Thanks.

I'm afraid that you can't, that is part of the baggage that VB automatically puts in dlls and exes. The only solution is to switch to C# which usually doesn't include extra classes in the compilation.

Thank goodness I know C# then. Will do. Thanks.
