Using VB.NET in VB6

[Kevin S Gallagher]

I am looking for any technical articles i.e. MSDN or other sources
explaining how to incorperate VB.NET into VB6 projects in the form of a .NET
DLL.

Thanks for any assistance,
Kevin

I have done this numerous times and it is verry easy the buzzword is COM



Just implement a Com interface in your .Net dll register it on the target
machine ( with a installer or Regasm no not with regsvr32.exe )
and ready you are you can just use it as anny other COM class

Note that a Com class must implent a parmeterless constructor

Hi,

Go to http://www.microsoft.com/business/vb2005upgrade/default.mspx. There
are two online labs (Labcast button) that show two techiques (both use COM,
but the first, titled: Incorporating Visual Basic .NET Windows Forms with
Visual Basic 6 Applications may do all that you need.

Oh, maybe just one more little tibbit here. I would fully debug the thing in
..NET before trying to debug it mixing the environments. I've found that to
be a total pain.
