VB.Net 2008 Setting References 1

[Christineeve]

I'm sorry to be asking the stupidest question today. But, I'm trying to set some references and I'm having difficulty.

Back in the good old days of VB 6, it was easy to set a reference. But now, I'm having problems with .Net.

How do you set a reference to Scripting? I see it set in my example project. But, I'm trying to set it in my project and I can't find it or how to do it.

I have added my other references, the scripting reference is eluding me...

In your project's solution explorer right click on the project name and select 'Add Reference' then add it.

The problem is I can't find the Scripting reference.

Once you have selected Add Reference, select the COM tab and then scroll down to Microsoft Script Control 1.0 and select that.

An example of how to use it .....

The file TextFile1.txt contains:

Sub Main
  MsgBox "This is a test Script"
End Sub

The form is just:

Imports MSScriptControl

Public Class Form1

  Private Sub Button1_Click(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles Button1.Click

    Dim sc As ScriptControl = New ScriptControl
    sc.Language = "VBScript"
    sc.AddCode(My.Computer.FileSystem.ReadAllText("TextFile1.txt"))
    sc.Run("main")

  End Sub
End Class

Hope this helps
