Title: FileNotFoundException error on debugging dll   
Name: Binkey

Comment:
When I do the above steps and press F5, I get an exception error "FileNotFoundException was unhandled box" stating "Could not load file or assembly 'AddDll, Version=1.0.0.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=null' or one of its dependencies. The system cannot find the file specified."
AddDll is the dll name. How could it not find the file. I'm running it?

Nobody answered the question titled "call DLL from exe". How do you get the debugger to step into the dll when running the exe? Please advise if your still there.

Title: call DLL from exe

Hi, nice article. But I'm stuck at a point and think you'l be able to help me. I've created a dll class library project and attached it to a process. I've placed both .dll and .pdb files in the bin folder of the exe application. I've put the breakpoints in my dll project and now start the exe. The process runs and when the dll is called, the control does not enter the class created in the dll(I've put breakpoints at relevant positions). The process completes, but the control does not enter class library.
What I am doing wrong?
Any suggestions would be welcome. Thanks in advance.
Title: Re: Would it be same in 2005

you should find the DLL file in bin folder as follows:
project folder >> bin >> debug/realease >> dll file
if you missed to locate your project folder, try this:
(Be sure you have created a library project)
1. In the VS 2005 IDE, open solution explorer.
2. in the tree structure there should a "bin" node, exapand that node by clicking on +
3. then you should see Debug or Release, open +
4. now you can see you dll file in the list.
5. right click on the dll and click on properties and see the path of the dll in the properties, and collect the dll file then.

Hope it helps you. Thanks.

Title: Reason fo not keeping both projects in same solution

darren, thanx for your suggestion.. but intensionally i didn't keep both projects in same soluction. I wanted to show that each porjects could be at different location .. may be in same computer or different computer over LAN. Also in case of large projects client and server projects use to be developed separately by different developers/team.

You missed the best solution.
Add both projects to the same solution. Set a ref in the EXE to the DLL project. Set startup project as the EXE.
