Hello! I'm really new to C#.

I have this really basic cs exe and I want to make it a DLL so I can call it as an ActiveX Object thru a webpage (HTA).

I know i need to get it some parametere(s) like a unique GUID and PROGID:

[ComVisible(true), GuidAttribute(" get a unique guid here")]
[ProgId("Your.progid")]

I just don't know how! can you please help me? hhow do I make my exe into a DLL (I knwo the compiler sintax, just need the diffeences between DLL and EXE code)

Create a new Class Library project and then set the projects properties.

Under Common Properties|General set the Output Type to Class Library.
Under the Configuration Properties|Build you should find the Register For COM Interop option. Set this to TRUE.

You'll also need to give the assembly a strong name. Check in the visual studio help about how to do this.

There's also a COM interop example supplied with Visual Studio.

Oh! thx.

But is there anyway to do it with notepad. I dont do apps with visual studio, only with TextPad (that is almost like notepad).

If that is the only way Ill get a copy in my college of VS. but if there is another way i'd like to know.. I heard of a program called regasm or smthg like that.

Thanks for the help!

I'm sure you can do it without the IDE but I wouldn't know how.
I know the command line option for the compiler (to create a DLL) is /t:library but I think you need another application to register for COM.
