I am no expert but is that not what APIs are all about.

They all seem to be making call to various dlls.

Well, VB.net (2005) can create a standard windows "com" object, and they can
be used like any other automaton object.

Thus, if your .net program is correctly registered as a windows com object,
then yes..you can use it.

You have to use reams from the .net tools to correctly "register" that dll.
I would ask this question in a .net group...

If the .dll is written with being used as a com object interface...it should
be usable....

This process is mentioned here:

While the above example is vb6, the same process would work for ms-access...
