Adding references

[stopthedrop]

Is it possible to add a .exe reference? When I try I get "This is not a valid assembly or COM component. Only assemblies with extension "dll" and COM components can be referenced.".

Any idea how I can make this work? Also, is there a way to outright save your project to a dll even though it says it has errors? Everytime it finds an error it won't save it.

that error means the program .exe or .dll was not written in .net.

I can't add any .exe regardless.

it has to be built in .net, if its not it wont add, try to add the server.exe from runuo as a reference, it will work, if it doesnt its cause you arent doing it right, perhaps find a tutorial for the IDE ur using.

Aye, still no go. I've looked for some tutorials but they are very basic. If it's any help i'm using .net 2003.

Simply make a copy of your Server.exe and rename it to Server.exe.dll
