Deployment question

[Bryan Dickerson]

I have a Class Library that I have exposed as a COM component for use in a
VB6 program. In the VB6 references, the pointer is to a TLB file. Should
this be the file that I deploy to a user's machine? Does it need to be
registered as a normal COM DLL? It's not ready for prime-time, yet, so I've
put some code in there to make sure that I'm the only one that runs the new
code.

Hi,

Use regasm to register the dll for use with vb6. Also make sure the
classes in the dll are marked comvisible.
