Compiling project as dll

[Brad Allison]

Somebody a while ago had told me how to compile a project as a dll file
(instead of an exe) using Visual Studio Standard edition. I remember that I
had to modify a text file but I cannot recall what the name of the text file
is.

Thank you for any help.

Open up the .vbproj file in Notepad, and change the compile target from
WinExe to Library.
