I would like to build one simple dll to call a function that returns hello world, simple as you can get.

What are the dependicies for deployment in .net for that one dll.

Im developing in VB6 and want to call the vb.net dll can i just include the dll in my set up ?

Help really appreciated

Are you developing the DLL in VB6 or VB.NET?

Either ways you can do that, if you are creating a DLL in VB6 and to access that DLL in VB.NET you have to create a RCW for that DLL and add it as a reference in VB.NET project.

Try the following link which has explanation for both

When you create a .NET assembly that you wish to consume from COM, you need to register the .NET assembly for COM consumption. In visual studio there is a checkbox in the project properties to "Register for COM interop" but this only helps you on your development machine.

When you deploy it you need to perform this step manually. This can be done by means of the .NET regasm (register assembly) tool which is in the framework directory. You can either use the tool directly on the deployment machine, or you can use the tool to generate a .reg file that provides the necessary registry branches to be added when you deploy the DLL.
