downloaded the v1.0 zip file. extracted it. very excited about what's included. would like to know where and/or what needs to go where so that Visual Studio 2005 can find it....being able to include PDFsharp in multiple projects.

in talking with another developer, he said to simply put the PDFsharp files whereever and in MS Visual Studio add a reference to the PDFsharp DLL file.

There are two possible ways:
- add a reference to the PDFsharp project in your solution
- or add a reference to the PDFsharp.DLL in your solution

The first method is convenient if you dare make changes to PDFsharp.

The second method is OK if you only want to use PDFsharp, but do not plan to modify it.
You can change this at any time anyway.

I am trying to use it to build PDFs with a web application with VS2005

I downloaded the version 1.0 PDFSharp-1.0.898.zip ( both the one with and the one without the Migralite)

I unzipped it but It doesn't seem to have any dll's I can find.

When I tried to build the solution (which seems to be just projects)

I get errors inclusing( it won't let me post the error messages)
thet the dll are missing

I thought this was supposed to be for VS2005

I can't very well reference it if the dll's aren't there.

Information about building the DLLs can be found here.

You can post compiler error messages if you go to the output window.

I find the output window more helpful than the error list coz the first error in the output window is usually the error that needs to be addressed first.

I would give a better description of what I did but it won't let me post details

I created a file Build.CMD to compile PDFsharp.

It looks like this:

Hi Thomas,

That PDF you linked to seems to be an older version (pre-1.00.) Would it be possible to post the latest version DLL?
