Mixing VB6 and VB.Net resource files

[Jan van Veldhuizen]

I've an application (VB6) which uses resource dll's (only strings) with a
LoadResString function.
Now I added some new programs using VB.NET.
I want to avoid duplicating the resource-files, but I cannot find a way to
re-use those dll's from .NET.
Is there a way how I can read the stringtable from that dll? Or how I can
share the rc- or res-file with both the VB6 and the .Net project?

Jan,
The easiest way may be to create a VB6 DLL that has an object that your
VB.NET code can call that does the LoadResString for it.

As I don't believe the Visual Basic Compatibility Library's
VB6.LoadResString within VB.NET can be used to load VB6 style res files.

Hope this helps
