Using LIB files with VB.net

Hello there
Is there a way to use lib files as com objects?
I have an SDK of an API used to communicate with an EMC storage box that
contains only LIB, DLL, and C files.
Is there way to use these files in Vb.net?
Thanks in advance.
Regards

Try to add a reference to the DLL in the "COM" tab of the "Add reference..."
dialog.

I've found that the only Unicode support IDEs are DreamWeaver 8 and Zend PHP Studio. DreamWeaver provides full support for Unicode. However, DreamWeaver is a web editor rather than a PHP IDE. It only supports basic IntelliSense (or code completion) and doesn't have anything...

Hi, all. Recently, I find there is a way in our project to maintain a global set in many files by using preprocessing directives. I'm wondering if we could find a better method for this. Many colors are referred in different subsystems in our projects. They are defined as enumeration constants and a single color must be the same value all across our projects.

Any idea what it...

Hi all, I got tortured by a very weird problem when I was using k. wilder's random generator class in my program.

You may be wondering why you would want to put your files “into” the database, rather than just onto the file-system. Well, most of the time, you wouldn’t. In situations where your PHP application needs to store entire files, the preferred method is to save the file onto the server’s file-system, and store the physical location of the file in your database. This is generally considered to be the easiest and fastest way to store files. ...
