Using old com objects
-
I was previously developing an application using vb6 with some third party COMS. Now that I plan to upgrade to vb.net, I find that these COMs no longer works. Is there any way to make them work, short of looking for updated versions of these COMs( some of these third party companies are no longer operational) Thanx Notorious SMC
The difference between the almost-right word & the right word is a really large matter - it's the difference between the lightning bug and the Lightning Mark Twain

tlbimp oldcom.dll /out:oldcom.asm.dllthen you add a reference to theoldcom.asm.dllfile to your .NET app. regards, DarkAngel -
