I am trying to create an assembly to make creating a datareader simpler, using just one line of code as follows:<BR><BR><BR>Option Explicit<BR>Option Strict<BR><BR>Imports System.Data<BR>Imports System.Data.SqlClient<BR><BR>Namespace mem_DBtools<BR><BR> Public Class DataReader <BR> <BR> Public Function Open(strSQL as String) as SQLDataReader<BR> Dim strConn as String = ConfigurationSettings.AppSettings("ConnectionString")<BR> Dim objConnection as SQLConnection<BR> objConnection = New SQLConnection(strConn)<BR> objConnection.Open()<BR> <BR> Dim objCommand as SQLCommand<BR> objCommand = New SQLCommand(strSQL, objConnection)<BR> Dim objDataReader as SQLDataReader<BR> Return objCommand.ExecuteReader(CommandBehavior.CloseConn ection)<BR> End Function<BR> <BR> End Class<BR> <BR>End Namespace<BR><BR>I can't get this to compile, instead I get an error with just about every line as follows:<BR><BR>Microsoft (R) Visual Basic .NET Compiler version 7.00.9466<BR>for Microsoft (R) .NET Framework version 1.00.3705.209<BR>Copyright (C) Microsoft Corporation 1987-2001.

OTNET><BR><BR>Can somebody help me out with this? This is my first attempt at an assembly.I had the same problem and the only way I was able to get it to compile was to include references to System.dll,System.Data.dll, and System.Xml.dll. I was not sure why I needed the reference to System.Xml or why the reference to System.Data.SqlClient did not work at all. I was using the command line compiler, not VS.<BR><BR>vbc /t:library /r:System.dll,System.Data.dll,System.Xml.dll /out:myComponent.dll myComponent.vb<BR><BR>-- Drew
