Building DDE server in VB

Hi all,

Is it possible to build a DDE server in either vb6 or vb.net?. Do I
need a 3rd party component or can it be done natively with either of
the versions?. Has anyone got any pointers or code to achieve this? is
this a simple or complex task?

Thanks in advance

The only way to do dde in .net is to use the Interop by building a com
enabled dll in an older language.

VB.NET does not support DDE, it was replaced with remoting.

Yes to the former;
as to the latter I don't think so, but don't know, you'd probably have to
do something like interop with what might as well be a VB6 module anyway.

That depends more on what you want to do than on VB6.

Open VB; start a new project;look in the property browser - specifically
the properties having names starting with "Link"

Add a textbox; look at the Link---- properties that has.

It's in there; it's not trivial; it's pretty outdated now; but it should still work.
