Use ActiveX DLL in VB.net

Hi,

I just made an ACtiveX DLL using VB6 and packed it. Then I sent the Setup
Package to a customer he is using VB.Net to make program. But he said he can
not get it running.

I wonder the ActiveX DLL made of VB6 can be referenced by VB.Net?

Thanks

You'll likely need to follow this up on a .NET group, try the ones listed here:

Hope this helps,

The news.devx.com server seems to be non existant.

You can still find their groups on their site accessible via a web-browser IIRC, unfortunately for some reason they
decided to take the news server offline a while back though :(
Hope this helps,

They use web based newsgroups now (http://forums.devx.com/).

Yes it can, but it might help if you indicated what type of problems he is having (errors?)

Hi,

Sure, it should be usable. It may be added as a Reference (using the COM
objects tab, and browsing to the file location), and then simply called.
What error is being seen?
