How to create DLL in VB.NET

Question

I am using VB.NET 2008, and I want to make a DLL that will be used in a C# project.

Answer 1

When you build your class library in Visual Studio, it will generate the DLL for you and place it in the bin directory.

YourProject/bin/Debug/YourProject.dll
YourProject/bin/Release/YourProject.dll

It will be placed in the folder that represents your build-mode (Debug / Release), which you can normally switch in your toolbar.

Answer 2

Go to File > New Project and select Visual Basic, Class Library as the project type.
Enter your solution name and directory, and click on OK.
Voila!

Once you code your library and build it, you can go add it to your references in your C# project.

Answer 3

Just select a Class library as the project type.
