Can .NET be used to create DLLs or ActiveX controls for VB6 applications?

We have a lot of old VB6 apps that we continue to develop on, and Id prefer to create my new code in VB.NET and create a DLL that I can reference the Properties and Methods of. Then, once the boss decides that he is ready to spend the man-hours converting our old code over to .NET, some of these newer techniques will already be accounted for.

If anyone knows of websites or example code that demonstrates some of this, I would greatly appreciate it.
 
you can use the command tlbexp from the .NET Command Prompt to produce a typelib that can be referenced in vb6 , but you would if my memory serves me well still need the machine the application will run on to have the .NET Framework installed.
heres an msdn article on it ... using tlbexp
