You can't. If you need a standalone executable you need to work in c++.

You can't. Period. End of story.

Not a chance. The .NET Framework comiles you code into machine code when it's executed, not when you compile it. When you compile your app, it's converted to processor-independant MSIL (MS Intermiediate Language) code. It's not actually runnable by any processor.
Also, the .NET Framework is required for compiling to processor specific code, memory management, object allocation and destruction, garbage collection, ..., the list oges on and on, ... and on some more, ... Just making calls into the Win32 API definately does not release you from requiring the .NET Framework.

Isn't the correct spelling definitely? A lot of people over here seem to use your spelling, I'm wondering which one is right.

Yeah, it's "definitely". I can type, not neccessarily accurately, faster than I can spell. I seem to make that same mistake alot, kind of like typing "hte" for "the".

An alternative that is available but not supported by Microsoft would be to use a .NET linker. Here are a couple...

Thinstall[^]
I have only played with the demo versions of these, but I have heard decent things about both (except for price).

Using the .NET Linker has it's advantages, but it also has a rather large downfall. If you try to install one of the .NET Framework service packs, it'll fail.

Dear All,
I am developing a DLL to allow other program to import as a reference (something like creating an API). As we know, when other program declares a reference to my DLL, and starts using it, after typing the object name followed by a dot ("."), a list of properties and methods available from the DLL will appear. What I want to ask is, is it possible for me to add Intellisense features to my DLL, providing a quick info to the properties and methods that I have in the DLL, to the clients of my DLL? I have heard that this can only be achieved if I develop the DLL using C#, not VB.NET, is that true?
Thanks alot for ur help

No, that's not true.
There are two things that you have to do. First you have to add documentation to your code, then you have to make Visual Studio create an xml documentation file from the comments.
In C# you use /// to create xml comments, in VB you use '''. Just type it on the line before the method, and Visual Studio gives you the start automatically.
I have described how to make Visual Studio create the xml documentation file before, in some of these boards. Search for it.

Hi Guffa,
I have written some documentation to my DLL, build it, seen the .xml counterpart of the DLL. But as I test it in another project, having imported the dll, copy the xml over to this project's bin folder (is this necessary?), I still only see the method signature from my DLL as the quick info, the extra description for the method, parameters, and return value are not displayed. Below is the snippet of my DLL source code:
///
/// InstanceCount property.
///
/// <value>The total number of the instances of CDemo.
public static long InstanceCount
{
get
{
return ClassInstanceCount;
}
}
///
/// Add two numbers together
///
/// <param name="a" />
/// First number.
///
/// <param name="b" />
/// Second number.
///
/// <returns>The total of two numbers
public int addNumber(int a, int b)
{
int c;
c = a + b;
return c;
}
Anything that I have missed over here?
Thanks for ur help

How do you "import" the dll? If you add the project to the solution, the dll file and xml file is automatically copied to the solutions bin folder.
Where did the xml go? The comments should look like this:
/// <summary>InstanceCount property.</summary>
/// <remarks>Gets the total number of instances of CDemo.</remarks>
public static long InstanceCount {
get {
return ClassInstanceCount;
}
}
/// <summary>Add two numbers together</summary>
/// <param name="a">First number.</param>
/// <param name="b">Second number.</param>
/// <returns>The total of two numbers</returns>
public int addNumber(int a, int b) {
int c;
c = a + b;
return c;
}
<small>---
b { font-weight: normal; }</small>

Hi Guffa,
I redid the dummy DLL project. Then import (right-click references from solution explorer) in a tester project, now I can see the explanation in intellisense.
Thanks alot for ur guidance

Hi
I have a program (buiusing windows API) that is running invisible and is being controled by shortcut keys. When a specific shortcut key is pressed i want to display a small image on top of the screen to inform the user that the operation succeeded or failed.
How do i display an image on top of the screen using windows API?
Thanks a lot

Of course, there are a thousand different ways to do this, but here is a very simple one: Just have a little hidden borderless window with a PictureBox having Dock property set to Fill; when you want to show the image, show the window, starting a timer that will stop itself and hide the window again after whatever interval you want.
Let stand for five minutes before serving. Season to taste. Enjoy.

I forgot the name of an add-in I liked a lot.
It was drawing a vertical line between the brackets in my C# code. I believe it did refactoring too. Does anyone know what I'm talking about? I'd like to reinstall it.
Thanks!
Example:
if (0==1)
{
|
| Debug.WriteLine("Something is broken, Jimbo!");
|
}

Hi,
I would like to obtain the UITypeEditor for an object in C#. I looked at TypeDescriptor.GetEditor() but i'm not sure what it wants in the 'editorBaseType'. Does it want ' typeof(System.Drawing.Design.UITypeEditor)'? No matter what I do I always get 'null' returned.
Anyway, the reason I want to do this is I want to know the UITypeEditor used for a standard Boolean object so I can use it as the editor for my own custom boolean type. How can I find this?
Regards,
Shane

Look at the sample code Here.[^]
Although it's main purpose is to show how to create different shape controls, it has a very well documented code that shows how to create UITypeEditors.

Hi there,
Thanks for the reply, but I don't need to know how to write UITypeEditors, i've written plenty. It's more that I wanted to know how to obtain the UITypeEditor for the 'Boolean' type.
In any case, i've worked it out. The standard Boolean type converter supports standard values so they are expressed via a drop down box in the propertygrid.
