Did you deploy the .NET DLL and register it on the other machine
(regasm.exe)?

Now it's working. Thank you very much for the regasm-tip.

- Links might be split into two lines. Concatenate them using notepad.
- Links might require to add a ".nnnn" after the "2003FEB", e.g.
"2003FEB.10 33" for localized versions.
- Links starting with "ms-help" are URLs for the document explorer (<F1>).
Paste them in the URL textbox and press enter. Using internal help (menu
tools -> options -> environment -> help), display the "Web" toolbar that
contains the textbox.

localized (German) version. Excuse slight deviations.

Re: Using a .NET-dll in VB6

Hi Rudy,

You may need to take a look at COM interop. .NET assemblies aren't
accessible through VB6, because they are managed code, and VB6 does not use
the managed framework. COM interop will let you expose your classes through
COM, and VB6 will let you use COM.

The reason you can't create the object is because you haven't exposed any
COM object.

However, may I ask why you wish to do this? Can you not convert your VB6
program to .NET?
