[GIS] DLL As Embedded Resource ArcMap Add-In? VB.NET

add-inarcmaparcobjectsvb.net

I tried using StackOverflow, but I don't think anyone can answer my question in context(ArcMap Addins).

I am currently developing an add-in that needs to load a custom control DLL as a dependency. Unfortunately, ArcMap uses DLL's as their add-ins. So in turn, I must be able to either import an embedded resource to the Visual Studio Toolbox(for use with the forms), or figure out a way to make the control reference the embedded DLL as its delegate.

Let me know if you happen to have any ideas.

Thanks,

Logan

In my Addin solution (in C#), I have no problem including other assemblies inside of the esriAddin file. It's automatic, at least when referencing private assemblies in your project.

Let me know specifically what problem you're facing and I'll see if I can help. JT
