Hi all,

A VC 6.0 project( output is a Activex DLL) is converted to VC 2005
project and the output here is again a DLL.

When i try to include this DLL as a refernce is another VB 2005
project, i see this DLL as a COM DLL and it is creating a interop DLL
for interoperability. Why is it still seen as a COM DLL. When compiled
through Visual Studio 2005, does it not change it to a .Net DLL.

Can some one figure out what is goin wrong in this conversion.

Thanks,
Sugan.

The project type is invariant in the conversion. You simply updated it to
use the new compiler, linker, debug format etc.
