calling C code from VB.NET

C

CAFxX

hi, I need just a little clarification about foreign language calling in
VB.NET (VS2005).
I have a solution containing two projects, one in VB.NET and the second
in C (a library).
The VB.NET project needs to call functions contained in the C library.
To do so, is it mandatory for the C library to be compiled as a DLL? In
short, isn't static linking possible? (I strongly doubt it, but I wanted
to ask anyway).
Thank you very much for your attention,
Carlo Alberto Ferraris
