Passing function pointer from VB .NET to C dll

This is a repost with an update

Does any one know how to pass a function pointer as a function parameter
from VB .NET to a C dll?

Currently I'm passing it this way

Public Delegate Sub DSCUserInterrup tFunction()

Public Declare Function dscUserInt Lib "dscud.dll" (ByVal board As Short,
ByRef dscuserint As dscUserInt, <MarshalAs(Unma nagedType.Funct ionPtr)> ByRef
functions As DSCUserInterrup tFunction) As Byte

Public Sub count()

dscUserInt(boar d, dscuserint, AddressOf count)

But this isn't working. My program just crashes and exits. Any ideas?
Thanks.

Try the AddressOf()
it might work ;)

Another related question

How do I keep the garbage collector from collecting the AddressOf count or
my funct variable below?

dim func as DSCUserIntFunct ion

func = AddressOf count

Thanks

I was under the assumption that if you pass an object as a param to a method and inside that method this object is changed, the object will stay changed when returned from the method because the object is a reference type? my code is not proving that.
