On the project which you want to run at start up you need to specify a setting other than class library. so right click on the project you want to run, select properties and change the output type.

save the properties.

now select the project again by right clicking it and select 'Set as StartUp Project'

good luck

You built a library. A Library(DLL) cannot be "run".
I suspect you are actually trying to run. not build the project.

Select build from the menu and do not use F5

thanks for the quick reply.My major issue is to know how to "Convert VBScript to DLL"..I dono whats the correct steps to do it.As specified earlier i have a small vbscript which i have loaded to VB.NET.I have got the .dll file in the project directory.Probl em is that my project is not running.Please guide me accordingly if my steps are wrong.Hoping for the best.
