Are you using the VBC cmd line compiler?

I will only tell you how to do it, not do it for you.

yes, i am using vbc

The vbc has a /reference switch that you should use to add namespaces such as:

VBC /target:library /out:SomeClass /reference:System.dll,System.Data.dll SomeClass.vb

hi
i used

C:\Documents and Settings\sarah\My Documents\Visual Studio Projects\shoppingcar
t2appVB>vbc /t:library /out:c:\inetpub\wwwroot\shoppingcart2appVB\bin\CART .dll /
r:System.dll /r:System.data.dll c:\inetpub\wwwroot\shoppingcart2appVB\CART.vb

then where have i gone wrong?

You have to reference every namespace you are using, in this case System.XML.Serialization and you will have to include a reference to System.Data since that is where datasets are found.
