Update .net dll in labview

[Steve_Block]

I'm working on a labview vi that calls a .net dll. Whenever the dll is recompiled I have to exit out of labview and then restart the entire labview program. Just closing the vi is not enough. Sometimes I have to delete all the references to the DLL from the vi, exit labview and then reenter the references everywhere to get it to update properly. Is there a simpler solution to let Labview know that the dll has been updated?

Also. Is there a way to completely avoid using the .net structures and have .net generate a traditional dll with h file. The code I'm working with is in c#.

This is a known issue with some versions of LabVIEW. I have 8.2 and I have this problem all the time. I know that the newer versions correctly handle (most of the time) newer versions of a .NET assembly.

As for your other question, if you want to create a regular DLL you will need to use Visual C++, not C#.
