I was implementing a .NET based TCP server and vb6 based client. I was
wondering if we can de-serialize the objects in vb6 that have been
serialized at the server side using the .net binary serialization.
This would enable us to directly use the objects on our client side.
Maybe, if you have .NET framework installed on the client, you can
potentially use COM callable wrappers to do the de-serialization. But, it is
a lot of work and if you already have .NET on that machine, you might as
well build the infrastructure in .NET.
I might be missing something though.

No we don't want .net framework on the client, that is the reason why
we r using vb6 as out client.

In that case, you might have to serialize it using XML.
