Creating 'regular' dll with VB. NET

[Michael Howard]

I am a former Paradox/Delphi developer new to VB
and .NET. I am trying to create a dll that may be called
from a Paradox application. Is there any VB .NET project
type that will enable me to create a 'regular DLL' (that
is not a class library or COM object)? I can't
instantiate a class member in Paradox to call a class
function. I just need to call the dll function directly.

Perhaps I need to do this in Visual C++?

No, that's not possible with VB.NET.

Hi,
.Net dlls will need the .Net framework to run. The other language should
be targeted to the .Net framework and only then it can use .Net dlls. And
yes you are right, you would have to use Vc++.
