You can try to use the Low-level unmanaged reflection API, this can be found in the .NET Framework samples under the Tools directory.
 
You cannot load non .Net DLL's in this manner. The DLL must have metadata
and legacy DLL's don't.

Good morning.
Im building a little utility that load dll and show me all his properties
and methods.
somthing like the object browser.
but i have a big problem with it.
when im loading a .net dll everything is fine , but when im loading vb6 dll
, the dll can not be loaded.
anyone knows how to solve it?

im using the assembly method to do it.:
a = Assembly.LoadFrom("c:/utils.dll");

Thanks.
 
You can use TLBINF32.dll in system32 directory to read non .Net dll's tlb
information.
The article below maybe help you understand more.

Look at '...\FrameworkSDK\Tool Developers Guide\docs\'
You may need to download the Framework SDK...
 
I was aware of this for COM but the original poster didn't mention COM
except by inference to vb6 DLL which I should have guessed I suppose :-(
