what type is 'Me.InkPicture1.Handle' of? System.IntPtr System.Int32 ? either way. use that datatype in the SaveDatos() method.. eg: public void SaveDatos( IntPtr handle ) { ... If it's the entire picture control you want to pass to the dll then just do so.. WriteXMLdoc.SaveData( Me.InkPicture1 ) ... public void SaveDatos( InkPicture pic ) { ...
