Hello

I have a dll that was built in vb6 or vc++/6 and i have a problem when
i try to reference it in vb.net, I am getting an error "This is not a
valid assebly or Com componet" although is valid in vb6.

Can anyone help me please?

How are you refererencing it? In addition, have you tried the Type Library
Importer,

It might not be a COM DLL after all.

This depends on the type of the DLL. If it has been created using VC++6
then it is maybe a standard DLL which only exports functions which you can
consume using the 'Declare' statement or the 'DllImport' attribute (see
documentation).
