.NET Forum / Languages / VB.NET / October 2004Small exe large application
Hi al,, New to VB.net. What methods should I use in ordewr to create a small exe application that can call other libraries. I am in the process of creating a rather large application, I don't want to end up, when I compile and build the application to have a exe 5.6mb big Any help pointing me in the right direction Thanks Robert Almost everybody in this newsgroup is using VB6 or lower. While you may get a stray answer to VB.NET (including VB2003 and VB2005 which has dropped .NET from its name) questions here, you should ask them in newsgroups devoted exclusively to .NET programming. Look for newsgroups with either the word "dotnet" or "vsnet" in their name. For the microsoft news server, try these newsgroups... microsoft.public.dotnet.general microsoft.public.dotnet.languages.vb microsoft.public.vsnet.general There are some others, but these should get you started.

You can find it in the Tools menu. Have a nice day.  SignatureDavid F?nez Tegucigalpa, Honduras "La Pirater?a Mata Las Ideas" Desarrollador Cinco Estrellas Visual FoxPro > Hi al,, > New to VB.net.

You can add class library projects to your solution and reference these class libraries (DLLs) from your executable project. SignatureHerfried K. Wagner [MVP] <URL:http://dotnet.mvps.org/ Wrong newsgroup - this is for VB4/5/6 (aka 'real vb', 'vb classic'). For the microsoft news server you can try one of these or some of the many other similarly-named groups devoted exclusively to .net programming: news://msnews.microsoft.com/microsoft.public.dotnet.general news://msnews.microsoft.com/microsoft.public.dotnet.languages.vb news://msnews.microsoft.com/microsoft.public.vsnet.general news://msnews.microsoft.com/microsoft.public.vstudio.general news://msnews.microsoft.com/microsoft.public.vstudio.setup SignatureRandy Birch MS MVP Visual Basic http://vbnet.mvps.org/ : Hi al,, : New to VB.net.

If you are creating a "rather large application" then 5.6MB isn't very big at all. I am like you in that I used to care about exe size and all that. I don't anymore - especially since I started playing with .NET as it produces rather large EXEs.. Signature- Mitchell Vincent - kBilling - An easy and affordable billing solution - http://www.k-billing.com HI Michael, Does'nt the exe have to load completely in memory. That to me seems to be a complete waste, what if a user doe'nt use a particular part of the app for some reason, but on another occasion he might use that part but not another. The whole app sitting in memory is then completley wasted, and defies OOP and event driven programming. I come from a development patform, which enables one to have a very small loader exe, all other objects remain as outside objects, and are only loaded when called. So if I have an accounting app, the bank recon form might only get loaded when it is needed, and all the other forms or objects that are not needed at that time are not loaded, preserving resources. How can I apply this principle in VB.net/C#.net. I am not worried about large EXE per se, but more about true OOP eand event driven programming and only loading what you want to use as apposed to everything at once.

That to me seems to be > a No. Exe is mapped in VM but it isn't loaded as such. System decides which part of it to load and which to leave on disk. BTW That is one of reasons why you can't delete .exe while it is running...
