intellisense for vb.net dll?

[Ron]

Hello,

Is there intellisense for vb.net dll's? Here is a simple
dll I wrote which I invoke in MS Access. Note: I set the
build property to include registration for Com Interop =
True:
----------------------------------------------------
Imports System.Runtime.InteropServices

Namespace dllVB
Public Class vbDll
Private s1 As String

<ComVisible(True)> _
Public Property t1() As String
Get
Return s1 & " testing"
End Get
Set(ByVal Value As String)
s1 = Value
End Set
End Property
End Class1
End Namespace
-------------------------------------------

I call it like this in Access:

Sub test()
Dim f1 As dllVB.vbDll
Set f1 = New dllVB.vbDll
f1.t1 = "bill"
Debug.Print f1.t1
End Sub

I get intellisense for Dim f1 As ... I can see dllVB in
the dropdown list that follows As and then dllVB.... I
can see vbDll in the next dropdown list fir dllVB. But I
do not get any dropdown list for my variable f1.

f1.... no list.

In VB6 I could write an ActiveX dll and get intellisense.
I am just wondering if there is a way to get intellisense
in a Com environment from a .Net dll? I had the same
problem in C#. Note that I added <ComVisible(True)> _

But this did not add any intellisense.

Thanks,
Ron

Hi Ron,
Check out this link

There is a ComClass attribute you have to set in the .NET Class. I did this
and explicitly set ClassID and InterfaceID GUIDs, rebuilt the solution and
got Intellisense to show for my .NET DLL. Hope this helps.

Imports System.Runtime.InteropServices

'This will display the intellisense on the VB6.
<ClassInterface(ClassInterfaceType.AutoDual)> _
Public Class vbDll

'Rest of class code here.

End Class

Hope this helps.
