Hi there,

From a VB.NET application, a VB6 ActiveX DLL needs to be used. This
ActiveX.DLL (source not available) has an Announce() method which opens a
socket to a given server for communication purposes.

Problem is the Announce() method does not work from VB.NET - nothing happens
(I can monitor incoming connections server-side but no connection is
established). There is no exception neither. The same ActiveX.DLL works
flawlessly and immediately if I do a test from a VB6 application (same
infrastructure, same versions, etc.).

What might be the problem and how can I fix it so the ActiveX works from
.NET too (security, code, ...)?

Thanks,

Signature

You can try contacted the vendor of the ActiveX DLL for support and ask them
if there is a known problem with the Announce method when used from .Net
