Re: Difference between vb components and dotnet components

yves, here's a link to a MC paper on using COM (VB developed or othersie in
DotNet) I think it gives you a good overview on a) the differences, and b)
how to use COM objects is DotNet and vice versa.

cominterop.asp


Search the MSDN site. There is lots of good stuff there
