.NET Forum / .NET Framework / Interop / September 2005when to use com+
I am basically new to the .net framework but I have experience working with Visual Basic 6.0. I just started to work in a company where I am the only programmer. I am told that I will write new code in Visual Basic.NET and will keep the old Viusal Basic 6.0 code the way it currently is. If I need .NET to communicate with the Visual Basic 6.0 programs and/or if I need the Visual Basic 6.0 programs to communicate with the Visual basic.net programs I am wondering how I would do that? Would I use COM, or DCOM? Would I have vb 6.0 communicte with vb.NET by using the "Class libraries" in .NET? I would use class libraries so that I could create DLLs. Thus would I use COM, DCOM, class libaries, and/or DLLs? Thus would you let me know what the best way to do this is and what url's I can use as a reference? Thanks!

Yes, all of the above (well maybe not DCOM if the components are on the same machine). > Thus would you let me know what the best way to do this is and what url's I >can use as a reference? Here's the entry point for the relevant section of the .NET SDK docs http://msdn.microsoft.com/library/en-us/cpguide/html/cpconinteroperatingwithunma nagedcode.asp And here are links to a number of other COM interop related articles http://www.dotnetinterop.com/articles.aspx#com Mattias  SignatureMattias Sjögren [MVP] mattias @ mvps.org http://www.msjogren.net/dotnet/ | http://www.dotnetinterop.com Please reply only to the newsgroup.
