Exporting VB.Net DLLs to VB6
-
I have a really big application running on vb6, it will take months to port it to .net in the meanwhile i need to use some GDI+ capabilities (and some threading). I wrote some DLLs that will do the job for the big applications, but i don't know how to export them to VB6, When i'm trying to add the reference to the DLL, it gives me an error message that it cannot use that kind of DLL. I thought of using OCXs instead, but i don't seem to find a way to create an OCX in VB.Net (i know i can do in c++/# but i have tons of code already written in VB.net and i'm on a tight schedule) Can anyone help me out?
