Hi list, I am new (as of today) to windows services. I am writing in VB.Net
2003. I have a DLL file that exposes all the functions and methods that I
want the service to call on intervals. I added the DLL file as a reference,
but can't seem to get it to let me see my functions and methods. There
isn't anything inherently illegal about doing that is there?

Thanks!
Derek

What type of DLL is it? A normal .NET assembly? Did you add the "Imports"
statement to your code to pull in the namespace(s) on the DLL?

References in VB.NET are not "automatic" the way they were in VB6. You have
to use Imports.
