Can anybody advise me on how to find a namespace's corresponding .dll? For example, how do I determine which .dll to reference as my assembly in a .bat file when I want to use the System.Web.UI.WebControls namespace in my component?

I think this is what you want, although I'm not sure about your use of it:

In Visual Studio .NET, go to Solution Explorer, click on References. Find the reference that contains your desired namespace. Right-click on that reference and select Properties. In the Properties window, you will see the Path property. That is what you probably want.

Now, if I am correct, would you "pay" for the advice by explaining how you plan to use the DLLs?

Thanks!

Van,

Thanks for getting back to me on this. Actually what I was looking for is the specific dll that contains a .net class I'm using (as opposed to the path). For example, the Control class which is part of the the System.Web.UI namespace is located in the System.Web.dll.

I need the name of the dll for any class I'm using in my own custom controls in order to compile my own control. I can find this dll in MSDN at the bottom of the MSDN .NET Framework Class Library at the bottom of the main page for each particular class (next to the Assembly label).

Thanks again!
