Is it possible to use existing C/C++ header files in C# or do i need to rewrite them into new classes (all inline classes)? Can i use a com object for visual basic in c#(dll)? any help is greatly appreciated stonee

If you have a C API that you should live with the best I can think you can do is write a managed wrapper to the API. That is you use C++.NET (it can use C++/C header and code files).

Hi To use a COM object from your solution you can just call Add Reference and then select the COM tab....if your object is correctly registered it should appear in the list of available COM objects. Adding this reference will generate Interop.[MyCOMObject].dll Unfortunately I don't know how events in the COM object will be handled by your .NET code though. The nearest thing to a header file in C# is the Interface. Cheers
