.NET DLL HELL

[MC]

Hi all

I have created a .NET DLL in VB.NET. My first and very proud.

Now i understand the new principles of CLR and .NET Framework.

I want to be able to call this DLL from my existing ASP pages not ASPX. They
are spread over many websites so I need to have this DLL is one common
place.

Now obviously, I can't register the DLL using regsvr32, so the principle of
Server.CreateObject is out I think.

Does anyone know of how I can use this DLL in my webpages without converting
them all to ASPX.

Regards and thanks in advance, and I apologise now for reposting in various
places before anyone tells me off

assume TestServer.dll is the .NET assembly
tlbexp TestServer.dll
and then
gacutil /i TestServer.dll
Good luck

Actually, you can use CreateObject just fine, once you create a type library
and load the assembly into the GAC. See:

This article is slightly more appropriate for calling the .Net assembly from
VBScript (ASP).
