.NET UserControl in VB6?

We're starting to look at Visual Studio.NET.

In order to smooth the learning curve, we were hoping to
create a project in VB.NET that creates the equivalent of
the old VB6 OCX, the intention being that we call the new
control from our existing VB6 projects to move our legacy
code forward whilst giving us time on .NET.

Although I've found plenty of articles about wrapping .NET
DLLs to make them COM-friendly, I've yet to find anything
that would let us do the same thing to allow us to add a
visual control to a VB6 form.

Does anybody know of a way forward, or should I give up
now?

Thanks for your time
