I keep losing my Reference to Acrobat!

I have created an Outlook Addin using VB.NET. In it, I have added a
reference to Acrobat so that I can manipulate some pdf email attachments.
Along the way, in my development and testing, I lose the reference to Acrobat
somehow. In the Solution Explorer under References, there is a yellow
exclamation point on "Acrobat". The only way I've been able to get this back
so far is to reinstall Acrobat on my machine(which is a pain). This has
probably happened to me 5 times in a couple of days. Does anyone know how I
could be losing it and how I can fix it without reinstalling? Thanks.

You should be able to add it back by using "Add references" and
browsing to Acrobat.exe

The only reason I can think of why you would keep losing it is if the
reference is pointing at an Interop dll which a temporary and is
getting deleted, might be worth taking a copy of the Interop dll
somewhere and referencing that

That's the biggest part of the problem. I can't add the reference back to
it. When I go to "Add Reference", Acrobat is not in the list anymore.

But you should still be able to browse to it.
Add References
click the Browse button
select Acrobat.exe

this should add the reference

Hello, In order to go back to the previous page from a page with possible postbacks I keep Request.Referrer in ViewState and then use it to redirect to the previous page. However I am losing all the information entered in the previous page. I also want to keep the entries in many fields/controls in the previous page. Is there a way to keep the information in the previous page intact when you get back to it?

In Windows 11 and 10, there is no way to turn off the Windows Update option using the Control Panel or Settings app; it automatically checks for updates and installs any it finds, whether you like it or not. For most users, this new feature is actually very convenient. If you want to control the update process,...
