accessing VB6 exe functions in C#

[shezh]

Hello all, Does anyone know of any way of calling functions in a VB6 exe, from code in C#? Is this even possble? I don't know much (if anything!) about VB6 so I'm a bit confused. I've managed to call functions in a VB6 dll, but is the same thing possible with exe's too? As always, any help at all would be greatly appreciated! Thanks Shehzad

Nope. VB6 .EXE's don't support export functions, so you there's really nothing to call. .DLL's on the other hand, you've already found out. The only exception to this would be if the VB6 .EXE is an ActiveX Server, which has all kinds of exports, just like any other COM-based assembly. Just add a COM reference to your .EXE and you're just about all set. Dave Kreskowiak Microsoft MVP - Visual Basic
