mixing c++ and vb.net

[Philip]

I have a C++ object with me, and I want to be able to
call its methods from VB.net. I don't know if this is going to make a
difference but I'm using VS .NET 2002.

e.g.
[c++ code]
Foo::Foo
{
}
void Foo::Display_Message()
{
printf("Hello World");
}

[vb code]
Dim myStringInstance As New Foo() ''Foo is the C++ object
myStringInstance.Display_Message() ''Display_Message prints out "hello
world"

Now what would be the easiest way I can make the above code work? Do
I have to create a COM object? Someone also told me to create a
netmodule, but I don't know how to create a C++ netmodule. And even
if I did know how to create a netmodule, I wouldn't know what to do
afterwards.

I'd really appreciate the help!
Sincerely,

Philip

You should use Managed C++ class library.
