How to create assembly in VB.NET
In this article you learned that how you can create assembly.
Introduction
An Assembly is the building block of a .net application. It is a self describing collection of code, resources, metadata. An Assembly is a compiled and versioned collection of code and metadata that forms an atomic functional unit. Assembly takes the form of a Dynamic Link Library (.dll) or Executable program file (.exe) but they differ as they contain the information found in a type library and the information about everything else needed to use an application or component.
Steps for creating an assembly
- Create a (web/windows/console/class Library) project in vs.net.
- Then add your code as we add below.
- Add the below code in your Default.aspx page.
<%@ Page Title="Home Page" Language="vb" AutoEventWireup="false"
CodeBehind="Default.aspx.vb" Inherits="bulletedlist._Default" %>
<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Transitional//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-transitional.dtd">
<html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml">
<head id="Head1" runat="server">
<title>How to Use BulletedList and Bullet Style Property</title>
</head>
<body>
<form id="form1" runat="server">
<div style="width: 478px">
<asp:BulletedList ID="BulletedList1" runat="server">
<asp:ListItem>Lesson 1</asp:ListItem>
<asp:ListItem>Lesson 2</asp:ListItem>
<asp:ListItem>Lesson 3</asp:ListItem>
<asp:ListItem>Lesson 4</asp:ListItem>
<asp:ListItem>Lesson 5</asp:ListItem>
</asp:BulletedList>
<br />
Bullet Style<asp:DropDownList ID="DropDownList1" runat="server" AutoPostBack="True">
<asp:ListItem>Numbered</asp:ListItem>
<asp:ListItem>Circle</asp:ListItem>
<asp:ListItem>Square</asp:ListItem>
<asp:ListItem>LowerRoman</asp:ListItem>
<asp:ListItem>UpperAlpha</asp:ListItem>
<asp:ListItem>UpperRoman</asp:ListItem>
</asp:DropDownList>
<br />
</div>
</form>
</body>
</html>
- Then write the code for the code behind file.
Protected Sub DropDownList1_SelectedIndexChanged(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles
DropDownList1.SelectedIndexChanged
If DropDownList1.Text = "Numbered" Then
BulletedList1.BulletStyle = BulletStyle.Numbered
ElseIf DropDownList1.Text = "Circle" Then
BulletedList1.BulletStyle = BulletStyle.Circle
ElseIf DropDownList1.Text = "Square" Then
BulletedList1.BulletStyle = BulletStyle.Square
ElseIf DropDownList1.Text = "LowerRoman" Then
BulletedList1.BulletStyle = BulletStyle.LowerRoman
ElseIf DropDownList1.Text = "UpperAlpha" Then
BulletedList1.BulletStyle = BulletStyle.UpperAlpha
ElseIf DropDownList1.Text = "UpperRoman" Then
BulletedList1.BulletStyle = BulletStyle.UpperRoman
End If
End Sub
- Now compile your application by choosing Build from the menu.
- When you build the application you will find a bin directory under your Root directory. The bin directory will contain a(.dll file )this .dll file is called the ASSEMBLY.
You can see the assembly in assembly.zip attachment.
