Mixed language programming with Visual Basic.NET

I have recently migrated from Microsoft Professional Development System
Version 7.1 (I know I am in the stone age >G<) to Microsoft Visual
Basic.NET. I am used to writing time critical or very repetitive routines
in Assembly language and linking them into my Basic PDS programs to greatly
enhance execution speed. I can find no information on doing this in VB.NET.
Can someone point me to a resource that will tell me how to pass arguments
to an assembly routine? I know how to create system .DLL files from
assembly so I assume I can call them from VB, but I don't know how to pass
the data, especially strings.

TIA, Bobbo

Look in the docs for information about Platform invocation services
(P/Invoke) and VB's Declare statement.
