Within the vi, a .NET DLL is used. How do I verify what DLL is used and its location? I want to make sure that I am using the correct DLL. When I right-click on the .net reference and browse, I only get what is available within the DLL.

Hi jyang72211,
How are you accessing the .NET DLL? Are you creating a constructor node then choosing a .NET class? If you have the name of the .NET class you're using, e.g. "Microsoft.WindowsMobile.DirectX.Direct3D.BaseTexture," then you can look up the DLL which contains it by searching for it on http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ . I have attached a picture of where to locate the name of the DLL on the above website.
Best Regards,
National Instruments

Yes, I am using a constructor node to access the DLL. The DLL is made by someone else on the team. We have to place that DLL in specified location. I just want to know where that location is, since that DLL is at mulitple places. The DLL is not a built in Microsoft DLL.

Take a look Global Assembly Cache (GAC):
http://zone.ni.com/reference/en-XX/help/371361D-01/lvconcepts/using__net_with_labview/
Check C:\Windows\assembly
and C:\C:\WINDOWS\Microsoft.NET\assembly
See if you can find your dll.

I'm wondering if you found a method of finding exactly to which dll file an existing constructor node points.

If he found his dll in the GAC, how does he know that's actually the file that the constructor node is using?

There is no way to extract the exact file your constructor is using unless you chose the DLL by browsing to it from a known location. Is the main problem here conflicting versions of a DLL having a single name?

Yes. Unfortunately I have several versions of a dll from Agilent and for some reason I also have duplicates that reside in several locations on the C: drive. To make matters worse, I run common code (from a server) on several PCs, but the dll file is not on the server, it's on each PC's C: drive.
So it's not a big deal. I was just trying to figure out on one of those PCs which version and actual copy of the dll was being used. I should probably move the dll to the server.
Thanks,
Corey
