dll in vb.net

[pckm_123]

can i create dll in vb.net??
I know i can in c++ and cannot in vb 6.0.

the reason i'm asking is because i have program written in vb and i have to convert it back to c++ when i want to create dll and lib for that program.

If you are talking about creating static dll's. Then the answer is no.

ok.. so what kind i could create? after it get created, i can call from any language? such as call its functions from both c++ and vb?

You can most certainly make DLL's in VB6 and VB.NET. In VB6, the
DLLs utilize COM, so any language that supports COM
(VB6, .NET languages, C++, etc.) can use VB6 DLLs.

.NET languages, however, (perhaps with the exception of C++.NET,
I'm not sure) compile to special DLLs that only other .NET
applications can import.

thank you
I decided to create dll with c++ since I dont' know much about creating dll with VB

With .Net you can generate a COM Callable Wrapper (CCW) which allows COM based languages to use the DLL. Read about it, never done it so how well it works is another story....
