Newbie to .net.....

How do I create a DLL that has a function exposed to any program that calls
it. This will return a Char[] to the calling program.

Start a class library project in .NET. This will give you the dll you
are looking for.

to expose a function, just use (vb code):

Public Function FunctionName() as Char()

End Function

If you want to expose that function w/o having to instantiate a class,
use the "shared" keyword.

If you are looking at how to calling the DLLs created in VB.NET from VB6,
there are a few steps you need to do.
I found an article about that:
