Visual Studio, added DLL reference but type not found


I'm new to Visual Studio and Windows, trying to figure out how to include a 3rd party lib into my vb.net project. I'm using VS2010 "free edition", i've added the required DLL file: Ionic.Zlib.dll and can see it under the references recent tab. The type "ZipFile" is still not resolving but should be according to the readme. Is there something else I need to do to make VS aware of the DLL?


Solution

  • You also need to add a Imports statement at the top of the source file in order to be able to use a type without declaring the fully qualified name.
