Hi, Paul

If the unmanaged .dll is COM based:

1) Use Tlbimp
[http://msdn2.microsoft.com/en-us/lib...x(vs.80).aspx]
2) Examine file with
Ildasm
[http://msdn2.microsoft.com/en-us/lib...1(VS.80).aspx]
3) And than wrap with
RCW [http://msdn2.microsoft.com/en-us/library/8bwh56xe.aspx]

If it isn't a COM library, use a tool like Dumpbin.exe or Depends.exe
(Dependency Walker, http://www.dependencywalker.com).

Dim result As DialogResult

result = ofd1.ShowDialog ()

If result = Windows.Forms.D ialogResult.OK Then
''
'' for this example ofd1.filename =
"c:\windows\sys tem32\wininet.d ll"
''
System.Diagnost ics.Process.Sta rt("C:\Program Files\Microsoft
Visual _Studio 8\SDK\v2.0\Bin\ tlbimp.exe " & ofd1.FileName &
"/out:myTest.dll" )
Threading.Threa d.Sleep(5000)
System.Diagnost ics.Process.Sta rt("C:\Program Files\Microsoft
Visual _Studio 8\SDK\v2.0\Bin\ ildasm.exe myTest.dll/out:myTest.il")

Paul,

Debug more carefully: Drive:\Path\Tlb Imp.exe
;)
