Using .NET user controls into VB6

[emferrari]

Hi

I just developed a small form in C# to use inside of my old VB6
programs.
My first step was to build a new WindowsControlLibrary project and add
the usercontrol to it.
It compiled, a DLL was built, and by setting the "Register for COM
Interop" to TRUE a .tlb file was also built. I added this tlb file as a
reference into VB6.

Now I put a menu item and in the code for the menu item the following:

Dim myControl As MyControl.UserControl1

How do I show the control to the user now? Any ideas? Sorry if this
sounds stupid.

Thanks!

How about this:

I write a C# application and call it from VB6 as a normal executable.
There is SOME WAY that I can have access to the controls of the screen,
such as, textbox, combobox, buttons, etc. If not, there is a way to
create a collection of these objects and pass as a parameter to the
program ?

Thanks!
