Create Active X DLL in VB6 or VB2003/VB 2005 1

[din2005]

Hi all,

I would like to know if its possible to create an active x dll in vb 2003 or the most recent one i think is vb 2005. I am about to purchase a copy which my department will be paying for. My sole intended purpose first will be creating active x dll like in vb6.

Many thanks

You can't create an Active X DLL in .Net. You can however create a .Net DLL and use the framework to create an Active-X wrapper for it. do a search on the forum here for "regasm" I've posted the walk through a few times.

While you can create an activeX DLL in .net, it's not really set up for that -- you'll probably be better off using VB6 for this.

In .net, COM is not really the focus any more -- you would use remoting or other technologies to accomplish the same thing.
