Put your CAVEditLit.dll in the debug folder of your project.

One more thing you can do is.. In Visual Studio Menu

Project

Add Reference

and then in the new dialog click on the Browse tab and select your dll.

This will help you.

To use an external library in your code you need to:

  1. Add a reference to it.

  2. Add a using in the code file where you are using the library.

    using CAVEditLib

Have you tried to register your library? Go to the command prompt, cd to the folder where your library is located and execute "regsvr32 /i CAVEditLib.dll". This should work

Try putting CAVEditLib.dll in a lib folder in the same folder as where your solution resides then instead of adding a COM refrence, use "Browse" and add the reference from the actual file.
