Hi, I'm starting using vb.net. I used to program with vb6.

I created an application that uses ADODB in reference. When I launch my application everything is fine, everything works.

But when I distribute my exe file that is in the bin directory, I need to copy the "Interop.ADODB.dll" file in the same directory of my exe file to make it works. Is that normal? Is there a way to avoid that?

Thanks

Daniel
 
I don't know of adodb is in the framework but I suspect it would be so oyu shouldn't need it. Otherwise it is normal. On the other hand. ADODB is not the way foreward. Try switching to ado.net and notice the difference.

Is it normal?..well yes for any COM reference that was added
Is it really such a bind to include the Interop file?...No.
Is it worth switching to ADO.Net?...most definitely!
