2. On the File menu, click New, click Project, click Visual C# Projects, click Class Library, and then click OK.
3. In Solution Explorer, right-click Class1.cs, and then rename the file as Webcontrols.cs.
4. In Solution Explorer, double-click Webcontrols.cs, and then replace all the code that is provided in Webcontrols.cs with the following code

   using System;
   
   namespace WebControls.WebControl
   {
   	public interface IServerIM
   	{
   		string AccessKey
   		{
   			get;
   			set;
   		}
    	}
   }
   
   namespace WebControls.Navigation.NavigationSet
   {
   	public interface IServerIM : WebControls.WebControl.IServerIM
   	{
   		short SelectedIndex
   		{
   			get;
   			set;
   		}
   	}
   }
   
   namespace WebControls.Tab.Tab
   {
   	public interface IServerIM : WebControls.Navigation.NavigationSet.IServerIM
   	{
   		string StringName
   		{
   			get;
   			set;
   		}
   	}
   }

5. On the File menu, click Save ClassLibrary1 As.
6. Save the file as DriveLetter:\Path\ClassLibrary1, and then quit Visual Studio .NET 2003.
7. Start Microsoft Visual Studio .NET 2003.
8. On the File menu, click New, click Project, click Visual Basic Projects, click Console Application, and then click OK.
9. In Solution Explorer, right-click References, click Add Reference, click Browse, locate the ClassLibrary1.dll file in the DriveLetter:\Path\Bin\Debug folder, and then click OK.
10. In Solution Explorer, double-click Module1.vb, and then replace all the code that is provided in Module1.vb with the following code example:

    Imports WebControls
    
    Module Module1
    
        Sub Main()
            Dim tab As WebControls.Tab.Tab.IServerIM = Nothing
    
            Dim str As String
            str = tab.AccessKey ' <--- No code generated !
    'Set a BreakPoint to the previous line and you will notice that the breakpoint moves to the next line.
            str = tab.StringName
    
        End Sub
    
    End Module
    

11. On the File menu, click Add Project, click New Project, click Visual C# Projects, click Console Application, and then click OK.
12. In Solution Explorer, expand CosoleApplication2, right-click References, click Add Reference, click Browse, locate the ClassLibrary1.dll file in the DriveLetter:\Path\Bin\Debug folder, and then click OK.
13. In Solution Explorer, double-click Class1.cs, and then replace all the code that is provided in Class1.cs with the following code sample:

    using System;
    using WebControls;
    
    namespace ConsoleApplication2
    {
    	class Class1
    	{
    		[STAThread]
    		static void Main(string[] args)
    		{
    			WebControls.Tab.Tab.IServerIM tab = null;
    
    			string str;
    			str = tab.AccessKey;
    			str = tab.StringName;
    		}
    	}
    }
