If i remember reading about it somewhere (don't remember exactly where).
You would have to genereate strong name key using sn.exe utility then include that snk file into your project. Make the setup project for your DLL and when adding primary output select Global Cache Folder as destination folder.
Hope to help.

Jitesh, I've tried using this sn.exe utility but what parameters should I pass in ? And bout the other steps could you give me a more detail explanation couze I've really don't know where to find the options(Sorry I just a beginner don't really know much bout settings 
).
Thanks again.
). Thanks again.
Jitesh I've tried this but still no luck.
sn -k c:\demokey.snk
vbc /t:library /keyfile:c:\demokey.snk class1.vb
gacutil -i class1.dll
regasm /tlb:class1.tlb class1.dll
after that i could reference the dll to my vb6 program but still as usual the Automation Error occurred. What is wrong ??
my class only have 1 function :
Option Explicit On
Option Strict Off
Public Class Testingclass
Public Function READTXT() As String
READTXT = "Hello World"
End Function
End Class
Is there anything wrong with my class ??
sn -k c:\demokey.snk
vbc /t:library /keyfile:c:\demokey.snk class1.vb
gacutil -i class1.dll
regasm /tlb:class1.tlb class1.dll

I managed to find the post in one of the forum and it goes like following:

To do this you must first generate a new strong name key. Locate sn.exe (the default location for this file is c:\Program Files\Microsoft Visual Studio .NET\FrameworkSDK\Bin\). Call this file from the command prompt with the following parameters:
sn.exe -k c:\MyStrongNameKey.snk
Note that (ofcourse) you may change the name of the generated file (MyStrongNameKey.snk). To make life easier you should now copy this file to your project's source folder.
To include the file into your project, add the following line of code to the AssemblyInfo:
Code:<Assembly: AssemblyKeyFile("ErrorLog.snk")>
You're done with this project now. Create a setup project for your DLL as you would usually do. When adding the primary output of your DLL project mind that you should select "Global Assembly Cache Folder" as the destination folder.
Build the project and run it, your DLL file will now be automatically installed into the GAC! Hope this helps. If you have any more questions, don't hesitate to let me know.
A few notes:
- You should generate a new SNK for each project you wish to install into the GAC;
- You don't have to generate a new SNK for each version of a project, each project can keep the same SNK throughout updates;

I have not tested this. But if you still couldn't get it working let me know. I would like to give it a shot.
Hope to help.

Thanks alot Jitesh but i've found a better way(maybe not
)...
using interface. Works for me
public interface testinterface
sub subname()
end interface
public class testclass implements testinterface
public sub ABC() implements testinterface.subname
........
endsub
end class
If any1 have any comments or any other better solutions pls let me know(peformance isues etc)..
ps: Btw now i've many dll and tbl loaded in my vb6 reference but i've deleted the files. Is there anyway to remove it from the reference list ?? i've tried to run regsvr32 with the -u parameter but could not remove it becouze I've deleted the file

.Arrrrrrhhhhhhhh!!!!
problems with the data types now...
uhhh i can't pass an array to my functions in the dll
could some1 check this code out pls
This is in VB.net
Option Explicit On
Public Interface iCommonImageProcessing
Function test(ByRef temp() As Short)
End Interface
Public Class CommonProcessingFunctions : Implements iCommonImageProcessing
Public Function test1(ByRef temp() As Short) Implements iCommonImageProcessing.test
Dim te as string
Dim i, j As Integer
For j = 0 To UBound(temp, 2)
For i = 0 To UBound(temp, 1)
te = te & temp(i, j)
Next
Next
MsgBox(te)
End Function
End Class
This is in vb6
Private Sub Command1_Click()
Dim b As CommonImageProcessing.iCommonImageProcessing
Set b = New CommonImageProcessing.CommonProcessingFunctions
Dim mask(2, 2) As Integer
For j = 0 To 2
For i = 0 To 2
mask(i, j) = -1
Next
Next
b.test (mask)
end sub
PS : short in vb.net is equal to integer in vb6
