How to "Add Reference" in VC.NET?

[msnews.microsoft.com]

Hi,

How do I add a reference in VC++.NET?

In VB.NET and VC#.NET, there's an option in "Project" menu called "Add
Reference". This will add a .NET DLL reference to the current project. After
I add a reference, I can start using the class in the DLL as follows:

[VB]
Imports <TheNamespace>

Dim someobj As New <ClassName>

[VC#]
using <TheNamespace>

<ClassName> obj = new <ClassName>

Please note that this a namespace can be imported or used only after adding
the reference.

How do I similar kind of operation in VC++.NET? I want to use a DLL which
cannot be dropped on the form. It can only be used through code.

Please Help.

You add the reference in the solution explorer References map and then put

using namespace <TheNamespace>

To instantiate an object use <ClassName>* obj = new <ClassName>.

When you create a new project such a map should have been appended to the
solution explorer tree-view (ctrl-alt-L, also under Views in your menu).

HTH,

Hi Michiel,

I still can't figure out how to add a .NET DLL to VC++.NET project. In the
Reference Map, there's no way to add a .NET DLL Reference.

Please explain.

Did you switch to the .Net tab inside the Add Reference dialog ?
Btw, I'm using VS 2003.

Hi Michiel,

There is no "Add Reference" choice/option in Visual C++.NET 2002 or 2003.
It's available only for the other languages(VB.NET, VC#.NET, etc). For
VC++.NET the "Add Reference" choice which is usually found under the
"Projects" Menu is not available.

Well in my version there is :P Anyway, you _do_ have a references map in the
Solution Explorer ? You have to right-click on it.

OK...Got It! I was looking mostly at Visual Studio 2002. Looks like it's
available only in Visual Studio 2003. I am unable to find it in Visual
Studio 2002. Any idea how to add reference in VS2002?

Thanks,
