Problem with Form Inheritance in VB.NET
Is there some trick to form inheritance from .EXE files? I have been able
to base inherited forms on forms saved in assemblies that were compiled as
DLL's, and have been able to base them on forms in Windows applications that
are part of the same solution. Once I try to use the inheritance picker to
browse to and then select an .EXE, however, I get:
Reference Error
Unable to add reference 'appname' to the current application. Check that a
different version of 'appname' is not already referenced.
Just about every book I have says that the inheritance picker CAN select
.EXE assemblies. What am I missing?
