Winfax in Vb.net

[Joyal]

hi,

I can not add winfax.dll in vb.net.
I got following error.

" reference to "c:\winnt\system32\winfax.dll could not be added. this is nota valid assembly or com component. only assemblies with extension dll and com components can be referenced. please make sure that the file is accessible, and that it is as valid
assembly or com component."

Is there any way to use winfax.dll or import winfax.lib in vb.net.

Thanks.

IIRC Winfax.dll isnt a .Net / COM component - you would need to access it through P/Invoke rather than by adding a reference. There is also a FaxCom.Dll that can be added as a reference - that might be of some use.

PlausiblyDamp,

Thanks for your reply.

I dont know what is P/Invoke.
And also, how to access winfax.dll or winfax.lib.
Can you explain me.
OR
May i have an alternate solution with WinFax.
Means is there any such kind of library through which i can send fax.
