.NET Forum / .NET Framework / New Users / August 2005Reference VS2005 assembly from VS2003 project
Is this possible? I have compiled an assembly in VS2005 and am trying to add a reference to that assembly from my VS2003 project. The error that I am getting is: A reference to '{path to vs2005 dll}' could not be added. This is not a valid assembly or COM component. ONly assemblies with extension 'dll' and COM components can be referenced. Please make sure that hte file is accessible, and that it is a valid assembly or COM component. Do I need to make my VS2005 assembly "COM Visible" and "Register for COM interop" in order for this to work? Thanks, Jody I have tried making the VS2005 assembly COM Visible and Register for COM interop, but that did not work.

No, you need to switch to VS2005 / .NET 2.0 for the client too (the referencing project).

I have not tried this yet, but does it work in the opposite direction where a VS2005 project references a VS2003 assembly? I was thinking about taking my VS2003 project and creating an interface for it, then create a shell EXE in VS2005 to call the VS2003 assembly.
