I am working on a project developing an ASP.NET (1.1) web application. However, I am not using the Visual Studio.NET front-end design application. I'm simply using notepad to create .ASPX, .VB, and other related documents. When I want to write a pre-compiled visual basic class, I use the command-line vbc.exe compiler, and place the output DLL in the /bin/ folder.

Up to this point, this has worked fine for me.

Now, I am trying to use a third-party COM module with the site (simplechart.net). I have installed the module on the server. Now, in the instructions that come with the simplechart.net module, I am told:

"In the Solution Explorer, Right-click on References and select Add Reference. Select the COM tab in the resulting Add Reference dialog. Scroll down to the SimpleChart Toolkit 2.1, highlight it and click Select."

But.... I don't use the Visual Studio.NET front end.

So my question is this: What is it that this "Add Reference" process really DOES, in the background? Can I do the same thing manually, without going in to Visual Studio.NET?

---Greg

p.s. please don't reply with "Why would you want to do that?" and go on to extoll the virtues of using the Visual Studio.NET application. I am first interested in whether or not it is possible (whether or not you think it's advisable) to do without.

Add Reference tells the compiler what DLLs to include when building; as well as this - it also tells Visual Studio .NET how to handle things as far as Intellisense is concerned (not that this bit concerns you). Anyway - you can achieve what you need by using /reference:mydll.dll in the cs.exe command line you are going to use.

First of all, thank you for your reply, it was very helpful!

One follow-up question, though: What if I want to make use of the Class (that is defined in the DLL) in a code-behind page? Since I'm not compiling the code in the code-behind page, I wouldn't be using cs.exe and wouldn't have an opportunity to use /reference, correct?

Or am I misunderstanding how/when to use the /reference option?

Thanks again for your help!

Sorry it's taken me so long to get back to you, but the answer is that you wouldn't need to use the /reference here. This is only to add a reference to an external assembly.

Hmm.... I'm not sure you understand. I'm still trying to make use of a class name in the external assembly, but I'm trying to make use of it in a code-behind page, rather than a compiled class.

Specifically, I have installed an external assembly called SimpleChart, which gives me a file called SimpleChart4.dll.

Then, in a code-behind page I say:

Imports SimpleChart4

which is the name of the namespace, and is the line used in all of their example code. However, it gives me an error, telling me that it doesn't recognize the type.

In theory, if I had the Visual Studio.NET application, I could click on "Add Reference", choose the "COM" tab, and add a reference to the DLL, and then suddenly it should be able to recognize the SimpleChart4 namespace/type.

However, since I do not use the Visual Studio.NET application, I'm wondering how to do this without....

You can use a PlaceHolder control. On every click of the button event, create a dropdownlist and add it to the PlaceHolder

protected void btnCreateDropDown_Click(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
	PlaceHolder phDropdownlist = new PlaceHolder();
	DropDownList dropdown = new DropDownList();
	// Use your logic to give the dropdown an ID and a logic to find which data needs 
        // to bind to each of the dropdowns
	dropdown.ID = "SomeName";
	dropdown.DataSource = dataset1;
	dropdown.DataTextField = "Text";
	dropdown.DataValueField = "Value";
	dropdown.DataBind();
	phDropdownlist.Controls.Add(dropdown);
}

Don`t worry.The page is actually loaded from the cache and the user cannot perform any server side operation unless and until you are checking the cookie on page load of every page.

when you download
AJAX toolkit there are two version, the one with samples and the other without Samples.
also in the asp.net ajax home page, there is a lot of videos about how to start using the ajax toolkit, remember, the toolkit is just that a easy and fast way to use some AJAX capabiities.

Thanks for the reply.And how I can get the selected row id.

I tried with the following line but it returns the null value.

msgbox(gridview.rows(0).cells(0).text)

I am using VB Language.

gridview.SelecteIndex for the index or gridview.SelectedRow for the row itself.

But I strongly recommend that you start reading the documentation in the MSDN about the controls you want to use!

--> google --> search for "gridview site:msdn2.microsoft.com"
