Renaming the .dll and Client Classes

Message Topic Search Topic Options Post Reply Create New Topic Printable Version Translate Topic

   Hi,

I'm using VB.Net. To avoid the need to update references to QPL when I upgrade next time I have renamed the dll from "QuickPDFDLL0812.dll" to "QuickPDFDLL.dll".  I have also changed the name of the VB.Net import file and the associated Namespace to QuickPDF.

I intend on doing the same renaming when I upgrade. Am I safe in doing this?

Thanks,

Dan

	So long as you rename the DLL and the import file at the same time for each version you should be ok. I find that once you have learned to update it once then the next time is quite easy. Just remove the old import file, add the new one and change a couple of 8.xx strings to 8.xx + 1. The compiler complains if you miss something. Andrew.

	Ok, I'll stick with renaming the dll and import file/namespace because that will involve fewer changes for my situation. I'm going to have dozens of references to the library. Thanks, Dan
