Module question

[kcwallace]

I am relatively new to .Net, and have functionality question with modules in .NET. In VB6 I created several applications that shared modules. When I fixed the code with Module X within Application A, the changes cascaded to Module X in Application B, C, and D.

 

Conversely, When I try to do the same thing in .NET the changes in Module X do not cascade to Application B, C, or D.

 

Am I doing something wrong? Or is the VB6 functionality gone?

Not sure what you mean by

changes cascaded

if you meant the same .bas file was shared between all applications then this can still be acheived - when you add an existing item to your project you can click on the drop down next to the open button and select link instead.

If you are reusing the code a lot you may want to investigate creating a classlibrary as a means to share the compiled code.

If I do use class libraries, does the compiler automatically compile the library as a dll?

Only if it is in it's own assembly (project)
