Com Dll

[Jan_Uys]

Hi

What is the correct way of creating a COM DLL in VB.NET. I just want call it from a simple ASP (not ASP.NET).

Is it a good idea to develop COM DLLs in .NET (it was so simple in VB6)?

I would appreciate any help.
Thanks

I would not develop COM DLLs in .NET, though it is possible. If you
want to create a real COM DLL to call from ASP, then VB6 is probably
better suited than .NET. .NET creates COM DLLs, but really they are
just COM wrappers for .NET DLLs, as far as I know anyway.

Theres really nothing wrong with developing a COM DLL in .NET as long as the methods and properties it exposes accept and return basic types that are supported by Windows itself. I wouldnt try passing a DataSet for example, since its just not going to work (that easily, it is possible).

VolteFaces concerns are warranted though, so Im hardly disagreeing with his statement, above.
