Using a C++ Class

[Peter Aitken]

Can anyone point me to a tutorial or other information on using a Visual C++
class in a VB.Net project? Thanks

You can't use a Visual C++ class in a VB.NEt project. VB.NET projects hold
VB.NET code, not C#, C+=, Python, Perl, Cobol or anything else. BUT... you
are working in .NET ;)

This means that if you need to access that C++ class, put it into a Visual
C++.NET project and build a standard .net assembly. Then you can reference
the assembly from your VB.NET project and pick up the class that way.

Another alternative would be to use the C++ class to generate a COM/COM+
server and talk to that, but we try not to talk about COM too much these
days. ;)
