COM wrapper around a .NET assembly

[Graham Blandford]

Hi all,

Wonder if anyone can point me in the right direction.

Due to time-constraints, it looks lie I may have to abandon using VB.NET
development in favour of my more familiar VB6 environment. The issue I have
is, that I have to use a .NET assembly (DLL) to access data from a database.

I understand it is possible to create a wrapper using COM which would then
make it available to VB6. Although this isnt ideal, it might help me, in
this partiular case, get to where I need to go a lot quicker. I'm not
familiar with COM, but it may still be less of a learning curve than
..NET....

Any help would be happily received.

Thanks,
Graham

Do a Google for COM Interop with VB.NET, you can compile your assembly to
act as an ActiveX COM object that VB6 can use without a problem.
