MSSTDFMT.DLL - how to remove it from a VB6 project

Drace
1 New Member
Hello all,

I have had a problem with MSSTDFMT.DLL for quite some time now.

If I try to remove this reference in the VB project, it gets put back in immediately after running or compiling the code.

I tried looking for DataFormat throughout my project to see if I had some values assigned to them, but sadly I don't.

Can someone tell me how I can find the piece of code/control that is using the DLL so I can remove it?

I even opened up the VBP project in notepad and removed the reference, but it was put back immedately after.

this DLL is causing errors when people try to install it.. It's not worth the hassle and I wish to remove it. has anyone done this successfully? (I don't remember at what point this reference was added, but I do know I never added it manually)

thanks, any steps in the right direction will be greatly appreciated!

Since you haven't received any other responses yet...

One thing you could try (very carefully) is to rename the DLL, then load your project. This may (or may not) give you an insight into what requires it.

When dotnet is opened it will display the last x number of projects that you have opened based on the number you have selected. Is there a way to remove a project from the project list without deleting or renaming the project?

I was recently given .Net project files to work on. When I open the Solution file in VS.Net, I always get the message: "The solution appears to be under source control, but its binding information cannot be found.

Because it is not possible to recover this missing information automatically, the projects...

This is a worrying bug, and indicates a potential problem in the Framework CLR. This bug affected a project I was working on, which behaved differently when run from the Visual Studio IDE than when run by double clicking on the project's EXE file. The problem can be replicated easily: Create a new project in Visual Studio 2003 and add the following code. Module Main Sub Main()

Dear all, I write my own components for my project and add them in "My User Control" under the toolbar. Some time later, I make some other new components into it and want to use them in my application. Thus I rebuild the "component" project again, but I can't find them in my "application" project. Therefore, I choose my "component" project dll file again in "Add/Remove Item" from "My User Control". This time, I not only see my new...

These AIs are designed to manage the entire lifecycle of a software development project—planning, coding, testing, and deployment—without human intervention. Imagine an AI that can take a project description, break it down, write the code, debug it, and then launch it, all on its own.... Now, this would greatly impact the work of software developers.
