Hi,
I was also wondering though if there is a way to use a csharp dll without .net framework.
--> I don't think so. :)
Note: Assume that rotor and mono are the same with .net framework, and you want to run .net applications without .net framework
Cheers.
0 Thanks. Your info really helped me out. I've been able to access my methods fine now. I was also wondering though if there is a way to use a csharp dll without .net framework. Can I just find out what .net libraries im using and then just add them into my project??
0 A typo:
Before:
b) make sure all the exposed public methods with a specific GUID
[GuidAttribute("")]
generate the guid through vs.net Tools menu, and then select Create GUID
After:
b) make sure all the exposed public CLASS with a specific GUID
[GuidAttribute("")]
generate the guid through vs.net Tools menu, and then select Create GUID
0 Hi,
It is not true.
You do not need to attached your C# dll with strong name or add it into GAC in order your vb6 application to call it.
I have seen many people recommending this way, but it is not true. I have tested it myself except you proof me wrong :)
Try this instead.
1.1 If you are coding with vs.net and testing on the same machine, right click your project and set to true on the Register for Com Interop.
1.2 If you are deploying on a machine without vs.net, you have to do this:
command line: tlbexp DotNetAssembly.dll
will generate DotNetAssembly.tlb
2. Then in order to make your components to appear within the VB6 Project References... do this:
regasm /tlb:DotNetAssembly.tlb DotNetAssembly.dll
3. Yeah it will work.
There are some tips for you as below:
a) When you want to make sure your classes or methods to appear properly in VB6 - object browser or intellisense...
make sure any public classes or interfaces, etc (will only provide you an example on public classes which you want to expose out)
[ClassInterfaceAttribute(ClassInterfaceType.None)]
b) make sure all the exposed public methods with a specific GUID
[GuidAttribute("")]
generate the guid through vs.net Tools menu, and then select Create GUID
c) When you call in VB6
always do this:
Incorrect:
Option Explicit
dim test as ClassA.Main
set test = new ClassA.Main
Incorrect:Option Explicit
dim test as new ClassA.Main
Correct:
dim test as ClassA.Main
'within a sub/function
sub Main()
set test = new ClassA.Main
'then it will work as accordingly
end sub
These are just a few examples...
Hope it helps. Cheers.

is of much help in this regard.
Also, there is no need to install the VS.NET installed on the client m/c. Only .NET Framework would suffice!
I generally follow the following principle
1. Create the DLL in C#/VB.NET
2. On the client m/c that has the .NET Framework installed, use Regasm.exe/tlbexp.exe utilities and make use in the VB6 apps.
HTH
