VB - How to Import non- .system libraries

I want to use a third-party library so I typed 

Option Strict Off
Imports System
Imports NXOpen
Imports System.Diagnostics

but after compiling it says "cant find NXOpen Namespace" and so on

Why is that?

PS: NO, I am NOT using VisualStudio, I make everything in Notepad++ and compile via vbs on commandline

Solution

  • You should add a reference to your NxOpen assembly when building:

    vbc /reference:NxOpen.dll myvbsource.vb

    (if your assembly is called NxOpen ...)
