Microsoft.VisualBasic.dll - To use or Not use
I came across an article, which highlights the merits and de-merits of the usage of Microsoft.VisualBasic.dll from VS.NET. See below.
One thing that I'd like to add though is that after you successfully deploy the web project files over to the hosting service provider either by xcopy or using the web publish option in Visual Studio 2005 (if using VB.Net), if you see an http 404 error (page not found), it could be that the culprit is Microsoft.VisualBasic.dll. In my case it was; and to overcome this problem, I had to manually copy Microsoft.VisualBasic.dll from my machine to the bin folder of the host using the ftp tool. And it worked after that.:
