  #367431

  I'm unable to create assemblies based on .dll files I've successfully created in C#.  I've tried this with the most basic programs, such as this:

  using System;

  namespace newfileNamespace

  {

   class newfile

   { 

    public static void Main(string[] args)

    {

     Console.WriteLine("Hello World!");

    }

   }

  }

  I compile my .dll using this command string from within Eclipse 3.2.0:

  /target:library ${resource_name} /reference:"C:\Program Files\Microsoft SQL Server\MSSQL.1\MSSQL\Binn\sqlaccess.dll"

  I then try to create my assembly with this statement:

  create

  assembly match

  from

  'C:\Documents and Settings\jeff seeman\workspace\mycsharp\newfile.dll'

  GO

  Boom!  I get the dreaded Msg 6501 error everytime, with its accompanying explanation:  "... could not open the physical file ..."

  I know that my path is correct, because I've checked it over and over.  Does anyone know what I'm doing wrong?

  Thanks.

  I think it has to do with the filepath containing a space between 'jeff seeman' and 'Documents and Settings' as well;

  so it finds the file 'c:\Documents' and fails.

  if a filepath has spaces, it must be wrapped in dbl quotes:

  create assembly match

  from

  '"C:\Documents and Settings\jeff seeman\workspace\mycsharp\newfile.dll"'
