How easy is it to combine vb and c code in VS 2008? I have an application that is written in vb and interface files for a motion controller written in C++. The vb and c++ code need to communicate between each other. How hard would it be to use events and delegates to solve this problem?

Probably the thing to would be to wrap the C++ code in a C++/CLR class library. That would allow any .NET programming language (including VB.NET) to use the class library.

re: How do you combine vb and c code

If there is a really simple program that combines vb and c++ code in Visual Studio 2008, it would really help me.

I have looked and haven't found a good example I can work off of yet.
