    <p>Just to start off, this question does seem very similar to another post <strong><a href="https://stackoverflow.com/questions/5762755/add-the-dll-lame-enc-dll-reference-to-my-project">Add the DLL (lame_enc.dll) reference to my project</a></strong>, but I haven't been able to successfully apply that answer. I am pretty new to VB.NET so it is very possible I'm simply missing something obvious.</p> <p>I am trying to link a DLL to a VB.NET 2010 project to allow my VB app to play *.ogg files. I followed some other advice here on the forums and downloaded <strong><a href="http://www.fmod.org/fmod-downloads.html" rel="nofollow noreferrer">FMOD's</a></strong> <strong>FMOD Ex Programmers API</strong>. I am trying to now reference that functionality. These appear to be the files I need to somehow reference.</p> <p><strong>C:\Program Files (x86)\FMOD SoundSystem\FMOD Programmers API Windows\api\fmodex64.dll</strong>.<br> <strong>C:\Program Files (x86)\FMOD SoundSystem\FMOD Programmers API Windows\api\libfmodex64_vc.lib</strong>. </p> <p>I haven't discovered how to add a *.lib reference (or the equivalent), but selecting the DLL as a reference gives the following error.</p> <blockquote> <p>A reference to 'C:\Program Files (x86)\FMOD SoundSystem\FMOD Programmers API Windows\api\fmodex64.dll' could not be added. Please make sure that the file is accessible, and that it is a valid assembly or COM component.</p> </blockquote> <p>I'm not sure what I could be missing. Any ideas? Thanks!</p>

    1. COHave you a x86 or x64 System? It seems you installed in Program Files (x86) but with a libfmodex64_vc.lib (I wonder if x64 stand for the version or not?) In this case, you may find a solution in installing the right version in the right place.

    2. COI'm running Windows 7 64-bit. That location was the default location the FMOD installer **fmodapi44200win-installer.exe** prompted for an installation path. I'm guessing that the installer is a 32-bit executable, so windows defaulted to the x86 folder. I've moved the dll to the application folder, but it made no difference.

    3. COis your project set up to compile as x86 or x64? You can check this by opening VS 2010 then go to project-> properties, then click on the compile tab, there should be a button on the bottom labeled "Advanced Compile Options..." click that to open a new screen. In there if "Target CPU" is set to x86 or AnyCPU you may want to set it to x64 if you can and try adding the reference again. If you can't set it to x64 then you may need to download the 32-bit version of the dll and use that instead.

A row detail

Detail views are divided into sections. All the information in the data section comes from columns in the selected row. The other sections display data from other, related rows.

Related data can be related in a to-one or a to-many fashion. Captions of data related in a to-many fashion link to a list view showing a filtered view of the table.

Try moving around until you find a non-empty to-many entry and click on the label to get to one. You can move back to the root by clicking on the database name in the header.
