Hello everybody,
I've created the DLL in VB.NET and then try to reference this DLL inside my VB6.0 application. But it does not give me the chance to reference this DLL. The Error:

Can't add the reference to the specified file.

I think there are some interop issues. Does anybody have any examples how to do this?

Thanks in advance,

hi there.. are you sure you can do this?? i know you can reference vb6 dll's in .net.. but the other way i never heard...

Dmitriy: yes this is possible

In brief, in your .NET assembly you will need to expose each class's methods and properties by marking that class with a special COM interoperable attribute.

To deploy your .NET assembly so that you can consume it from unmanaged (eg. VB6) code you can use the .NET tool "REGASM"

There's a hell of a lot of stuff out there on this topic, so a few good web searches should get you in the right ballpark

Yes I want to do this. What is the reason? I need to create the VB6 application which supposes to send a ton of e-mails. This application utilized the Outlook object. I’ve created this app. and it worked perfectly till the moment I've installed the SP3 for Outlook 2000. The new security package starts to pop-up the security warning:
"A program is trying to access your Address Book"
(http://support.microsoft.com/kb/262618/EN-US/)
So, it is not possible to suppress this message.
I've decided to send an email from the Exchanger Server without using
The Outlook Object library. I've done this in ASP.NET before and it works. I've created DLL in .NET to use one in my VB6 application...

Maybe there is some different way to do this?
