    adding a C# dll to a VB .Net app

    Hi gurus,

    A contractor has built us a database application in VB dotNet. But he
    has included a DLL which was written in C# to provide a VirtualListView
    control. The source of the C# project is included in the soluiton. I
    want to fix some bugs in the VB app, but I've only got VB dotNet 2003
    so I can't build the C# project.

    Is there any way I can reference the DLL for the C# DLL without having
    to build it?


    Thanks

      You should just be able to reference the compiled dll in the add
      reference dialog.

          You could convert the C# project to VB.NET.

          As Tom mentioned, just referencing the existing dll is probably a better
          solution, but if you want the flexibility of being able to modify it in your
          preferred language then conversion is a good option.
