    Accessing VC++ Compiled Dll in dot net

    Any idea of referencing/consuming VC++ compiled dll
    in dot net [eg:CSharp]

    Scenario:
    A dll that is developed in VC++ 6.0 is there.
    It has to be used in the dot net environment.
    A VB compiled dll is easily referenced in the Visual Studio.net
    It easily creates a wrapper component for the usage of that dll.
    But when tried to add the dll that is compiled in VC++, it gives error
    stating "Could not create wrapper assembly for ActiveX type Library. You may need to register it."
    But it has been registered.

    Is it a COM DLL or a DLL with C-style exports?

    If it is a COM DLL then you may simply use the Runtime.Interop services to use the DLL. Check out this site http://www.aspzone.com/articles/john/dotNETInterop/.
    It has a good tutorial on how to Mix the 2.
