newB ?s on Creating libraries in .NET

Hari

Is it possible to create a .dll Library in VB .NET? If so, can I do it with
just vbc.exe, or would I need additional software?

Secondly, if I have a compiled file "File1.vb" in a directory, and a file
"File2.vb" in a different directory, is it possible to create an object of
File1 by importing it or something?

yes - use the /target:library option.

AFAIK, You cannot do that directly. Either create a module (/target:module)
or a class library and add it as a reference. If its a module, then use
/addmodule option and if its a class library add it along with the other
..NET dlls you are referencing:
/r:System.dll, <your dll>

hope this helps..
Imran.

yes! you edit your visual basic .NET project file (with notepad) and change:

OutputType = "WinExe" to OutputType = "Library"
and StartupObject = ""

good job
