I added one SDK(.dll) to one project, through click righ -> add -> reference -> Browser -> look for the SDK in my local file explorer, then click Add and finnally Ok.
so, The question is that now I must add it but for a code directed for linux, I have the SDK for linux, its extension is .a
which is the way to add as a reference???, since the usual way only allows adding dll, tlb, olt, ocx, exe or manifest files

I'm working on a windows Phone OLD application. I'm getting this issue related to SQL3.dll. in visual 2015.
Unable to load DLL 'sqlite3': The specified module could not be found. (Exception from HRESULT: 0x8007007E)
What I've tried, Done Cleaning all project, added sqlite.dll in Bin/debug folder, but I could not overcome this issue.
here is a screenshot.
I've tried adding a dll as reference (sqlite-winrt-3220000.vsix) but this is not compatible.
Any help would be appreciated.
Add the dll as a reference:
Right-click in "References" in the project you want to use it in and select "Add reference".
Select the option "Browse" and use the browse button to select the dll you want to include.
Add a using statement to the class.
After this you can use the dll in the project.
I've tried adding a dll as reference (sqlite-winrt-3220000.vsix) but this is not compatible.
SQlite is distributed as a VS extension. To add reference to your project, right click on References, “Add References”, “Windows Phone 8”, “Extensions”, check “SQLite for Windows Phone”, press OK.
No other steps are required, you don’t need other references and you don’t need to specify or deploy DLLs manually.
Also sqlite has different extension for WP8.1, you should probably install another one, sqlite-wp81-winrt-3220000.vsix.
Update: I think you’re trying to build for a platform that’s unsupported by SQLite library. SQlite for windows phone only supports 2 platforms, intel 32 bit (for emulators) and ARM (for devices and for the marketplace). It does not support AMD64, and it does not support “Any CPU”. You’re probably trying to build “Any CPU”, it’s usually the default platform for .NET.
Another possible reason is wrong project type. Your project has to be windows phone 8.1 app, not universal, i.e. the project name in the solution explorer panel must end with ”(Windows Phone 8.1)”
Update 2: I’ve compiled a simple app that uses sqlite, run it in emulator and it worked flawlessly on my PC. Ensure your references look like this:
If you have the same, make sure you have VS 2015 Update 3 installed. If you already have it, repairing your visual studio installation might help.
I have a WPF app that works with local SQLite and Entity Framework Core. I want to distribute my app using ClickOnce.
Everything works fine when I run it using Visual Studio 2017. But app had a crash on a start when I used ClickOnce. The crash was so early so I couldn't even log the exception. After some time I found that in publish folder some dlls were missed. For example System.Runtime. All references are NuGet packages. Then I found that despite of I have a reference to the dlls in my project ClickOnce application files list doesn't contains it.
The only solution I have found for now is to add missed dlls as files in root of my project and set build action to Content. In ClickOnce application file dialog I set publish status to Include.
It works now but it looks like not the best way to do it. The question is why they are missed in the first place. More likely I missed something or I am not understand the root of the problem.
UPD:
You can find an example code here.
It works from Visual Studio but crashes on a start when you try to install it as ClickOnce application.
UPD: The problem was fixed in Visual Studio Professional version 15.6.1
There are two ways solving solve this.
At first, you have to go Properties → Publish → Application Files, and at this place, make your DLL files include in your project
But if it does not work, go to References and make the DLL file CopyLocal = False. You add a DLL file like Existing Item in your project and make them Copy Always.
It will work correctly.
But for your sample I watch this and I solved it. Look at this image:
You have four DLL files. You need do this for them:
System.Diagnostics.Tracing.dll
System.Reflection.dll
System.Runtime.dll
System.Runtime.Extensions.dll
At first go to your reference and make them Copy Local False:
Then go to the path of each DLL file and add them like Existing Item, and then make all of them Copy To Output Directory CopyAlways
Then Publish it and run it like in this picture. I run it from publish file and it works.
Even if you set the dll to copy local, the dll will not get copied over unless you actually use the dll in your code. You might try adding System.Runtime in your code somewhere like this maybe?
var dummytest = System.Runtime.GCSettings.IsServerGC;
Based on Issue 9 on https://blogs.msdn.microsoft.com/bclteam/p/asynctargetingpackkb/ I was able to do the following:
Symptom
ClickOnce applications targeting .NET Framework 4.0 that reference the Microsoft.Bcl or Microsoft.Bcl.Async packages may experience a TypeLoadException or other errors after being installed.
Resolution
This occurs because ClickOnce fails to deploy certain required assemblies. As a workaround, do the following:
Right-click on the project and choose Add Existing Item
Browse to the folder where the System.Runtime.dll lives
In the File name text box paste in the path of the file
Click the down-arrow next to the Add button and choose Add as Link
In Solution Explorer, holding CTRL select System.Runtime.dll
Right-click the selection, choose Properties and change Copy to Output Directory to Copy always

I'm using VS 2012 and I need to write code that uses the classes in the Windows.Devices.Gelocation namespace. I downloaded the sample program but it won't load in VS2012 as it requires VS 2013. And the documentation for the class does not indicate which DLL that namespace is in.
Can someone tell me which DLL contains that namespace? Is it available in .NET 4 or do I have to use .NET 4.5?
Edit
My project is a console application which runs in the background as a Windows service. The searching I've done indicates that I have to target Windows 8 by using the Reference Manager's Windows Tab. But there is no Windows tab in the Reference Manager in my project because it's not a Windows Store application. Is there a way to use this API from a desktop application???
I've found how to reference the assembly I need.
On this page, under the section Windows Tab, in the Core Subgroup subsection, the third paragraph gives instructions on how to reference the needed windows assemblies from desktop applications. To summarize it:
Unload the project to which the reference will be added.
Edit the .csproj file for the project.
Add the following snippet anywhere in the .csproj file:
<PropertyGroup>
<TargetPlatformVersion>8.0</TargetPlatformVersion>
</PropertyGroup>
Save the edited .csproj file.
Reload the project.
At this point, when you open the Reference Manager dialog, you'll see a Windows tab on the left. Click that, and you'll see the Core subgroup. To the right, it'll say "Targeting Window 8.0" and under that "Windows version 255.255.255.255" will be unchecked. Check it off then click OK & you're done.
This is my first time trying to use a dll file in visual studio (2012) so I am not sure what I am doing wrong. I am trying to get sqlite into my project following this tutorial
I right click on the project in the Solution Explorer and click Add References
I then click on the browse tab and find where I have the dll file,click ok then ok in visual studio and I get an error saying Reference to *dll path* could not be added. Please make sure the file is accessible and that is it a valid assembly or COM component.
did I miss a step here or something?
The file is located in my dropbox folder (where my whole project is) and the project is a windows store application is that matters
Not a direct answer but instead of referencing the dll directly, you should install the Visual Studio extension for SQLite. The extension includes the dlls for all platforms (x86, x64, ARM). It also makes sure that the right dll is used for the platform that you are building for.
After you install the extension, it will appear in the references dialog under Windows -> Extensions. Also, when you use the extension, you must change all your project build configurations to be x86 or x64 (on the desktop) or Arm (for Arm devices). It will fail to build if you use AnyCPU.
I've read here and here for ways to embed my application's manifest files inside the PE but these steps do not seem to work for VC#:VS2008 - VS2008 doesn't even come with mt.exe (as far as i know)
How might I go about doing this?
You can add a manifest to your C# application by following these steps:
Right-click on your project in the Solution Explorer
Select "Add New Item" from the context menu.
Choose "Application Manifest File" from the list of options in the dialog box that appears.
However, note that Visual Studio already adds a manifest to your project by default in order to ensure compliance with UAC found in Windows Vista and 7. If you want to specify that a custom manifest file should be used by your project instead, follow these additional steps:
Once you've added your custom manifest file to your project, right-click on your project in the Solution Explorer and click "Properties" (or double-click on the "Properties" item under your project).
Under the first tab ("Application"), you should see a group of options specifying how your application manages resources. You can leave the default "Icon and manifest" option selected, but you need to select your custom manifest file from the drop-down box labeled "Manifest".
Finally, for the sake of completeness or if the above steps don't work for you, you can still use mt.exe to embed your manifest file into your application's EXE after you've built it. If it wasn't included with your installation of Visual Studio, you'll need to download and install the Windows SDK. Get the latest version for Windows 7 and the .NET Framework 4.0 here.
