DLL Project in .Net

[Grumpy Aero Guy]

The college I teach VB for just upgraded to .net from VB6 (without ANY
warning to the professors--- at least we know where we stand)

Therefore, I'm kinda scrambling to get a few rough edges ironed out.

VB6 allowed for the creation of an ActiveX DLL project.

I have been able to scrounge a VB.Net standard version for now to get up to
speed.

Does .Net allow for the creation of a DLL from a class module?

Is it an upgraded version of .net from the one I have at present which
allows this?

I have ordered the VB.net professional adition which I should treceive next
week.
(Sorry for the elementary questions)

You cannot create ActiveX DLLs, but you can create .NET assemblies.
These assemblies can be registered for COM interop and can be used
within VB6.

Standard Edition of VB.NET doesn't allow you to create DLL projects, but
Progessional Edition does. Nevertheless, there is a workaround for
VB.NET Standard to create DLLs:

Hi,
you must be teaching at BCIT Just kidding, but it reminds me on
my days at this college ....

Anyways, to create .dll projects you need professional, not standard
version of .NET
