If you'd tell us what this DLL is supposed to accomplish we could try to help you. Without any information at all it's impossible to do so.

Since I can only guess what you're driving at I'll point you to a source that demonstrates how to calculate an identifier that is more or less unique. All that is left for you to do is create a library project and put the functionality inside which you find on this site here: C# Generate Unique Hardware ID[^].
On the above mentioned site you'll also find some source code to download. That should help you gather some ideas.

Happy coding!

Yep: I'll handle the "how-to", you handle the "what-do". :laugh: 5!

Yes, you should be able to.

In VS, right click your solution in the Solution Explorer, and select "Add..New Project"

In the dialog which comes up, select "Class Library"

Give it a sensible name: "HardwareID" and press OK.

In your other projects that you wish to use it: right click on References and select "Add Reference".

In the dialog that comes up, select the "Project" tab and highlight "HardwareID". Press OK. (You may also want to add a "using" statement in your code files)

Now all the public classes, methods, and so forth in the HardwareID DLL are available.
