Hi all,
Wonder if anyone can point me in the right direction.
Due to time-constraints, it looks lie I may have to abandon using VB.NET
development in favour of my more familiar VB6 environment. The issue I have
is, that I have to use a .NET assembly (DLL) to access data from a database.
I understand it is possible to create a wrapper using COM which would then
make it available to VB6. Although this isnt ideal, it might help me, in
this partiular case, get to where I need to go a lot quicker. I'm not
familiar with COM, but it may still be less of a learning curve than
..NET....
Any help would be happily received.
Thanks,
Graham 3 4010
Do a Google for COM Interop with VB.NET, you can compile your assembly to
act as an ActiveX COM object that VB6 can use without a problem.
