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.
