Danijel,

>Is this because I'm not referencing all needed DLLs or am I off target somewhere else?

Sorry for the slow reply ... I was hoping that Rick might jump in here, but I guess not. You might be right about the referenced .dlls, but I haven't done this stuff myself, so I'd just be guessing too. Are the .dlls that it says are missing actually .dlls that you do need to reference?

I found some interresting code to play with from the article, however when trying to rewrite/adapt the code from C# to my VB project, I obvoiusly stumbled somewhere because the compiler just won't do the magic. When calling ICodeCompiler.CompileAssemblyFromSource I get an error saying:

>>>By the way, I am aware of System.Reflection, but then I need to create separate assembly for each time I want to reference something. I would preffer if it were possible to keep the code in one place and reference function/sub/class within the same project.
