    Building DDE server in VB

    Hi all,

    Is it possible to build a DDE server in either vb6 or vb.net?. Do I
    need a 3rd party component or can it be done natively with either of
    the versions?. Has anyone got any pointers or code to achieve this? is
    this a simple or complex task?

    Thanks in advance

      The only way to do dde in .net is to use the Interop by building a com
      enabled dll in an older language.

      VB.NET does not support DDE, it was replaced with remoting.

              Yes to the former;
              as to the latter I don't think so, but don't know, you'd probably have to
              do something like interop with what might as well be a VB6 module anyway.

              That depends more on what you want to do than on VB6.

              Open VB; start a new project;look in the property browser - specifically
              the properties having names starting with "Link"

              Add a textbox; look at the Link---- properties that has.

              It's in there; it's not trivial; it's pretty outdated now; but it should still work.
