I have the dll file in the bin folder under my app path -- BegASPNET\bin\MyFirstComponent.dll which was compiled with the following bat file:

CompileMyFirstComponent.bat

set indir=f:\BegASPNET\ch16\MyFirstComponent.vb
set outdir=f:\BegASPNET\bin\MyFirstComponent.dll

vbc /t:library /out:%outdir% %indir%
pause

here is my source code:

******************************************
Namespace WroxComponents
    Public Class HelloVB
        Public Function SayHello() as String
            Return "Hello World - I'm a VB.NET Component!"
        End Function
    End Class
End Namespace

********************************************

<%@Import Namespace="WroxComponents" %>

<html>
<head><title>My First Component</title>
<meta name="GENERATOR" Content="Microsoft Visual Studio.NET 7.0">
</head>
<body>
    Our component says: <br/><br/>

    <asp:Label ID="label1" Runat="server"/>

    <script language="vb" runat="server">
        Sub Page_Load(Source As Object, E as EventArgs)
                Dim VBComponent as New HelloVB()
                label1.text = VBComponent.SayHello()
    </script>

</body>
</html>

any help would be appreciated

Thanks
