I tried to compile a DLL of my Charlieplexing class. I used the Class Library template in VS to do that. But the Netduino App refused to acknowledge that my added reference to that DLL existed. I wasn't able to use the DLL! Is this something that can be done but I am doing it wrong? If not can this be supported in the future?

Hi Omar, It should work; we use DLLs all the time (like the SecretLabs.NETMF.Hardware.dll that's included in your Netduino projects). Two quick things: 1. Be sure to include the DLL in the main folder (not in the LE or BE folders). 2. After you add the DLL, be sure to include its name in a "using" statement at the top of your code files (or use the full namespace references to your class). Chris

Thats what I had issues with, it would let me do 'using blah' I would type it, but it wouldn't accept it.

"Works for me", so I think you're doing it wrong . Can you post more information about what you tried, or perhaps a zip file of your solution?

Can you take a screenshot to show us what you're experiencing?

Here is my DLL project:  CharliePlex3Pins.zip   83.63KB   2 downloads Can you check if you can add a reference to it in a project?

Omar, The project you've created is a .NET (desktop) class library, not a .NET Micro Framework class library. If you re-create the project as a .NET Micro Framework class library, it should work well for you... [The problem is that the .NET MF libraries need to target a specific version of the .NET Micro Framework--which this libary doesn't.] Chris

Well I can't trust my eyes anymore. I had checked if there was a class library in the Micro framework and I didn't see it, so I moved on and tried it with the regular .net framework class library. and I looked now, and see the .NET MF one... it must be all that turkey on a side note, it surprised me that no one posted a little "happy thanksgiving" post.

Same to you! I hope you had a nice day. I know right? This forum is full of different nationalities, it's really cool.
