Calling .NET Assembly From VB6

[DerPflug]

What is the most straightforward way to do this? I have created a .NET assembly, clicked 'Register for COM Interop' on the properties page, strongly named it and compiled it. Then I GAC'd the .NET DLL manually. Calling the .NET assembly from my VB6 code with 'CreateObject("MyNETProject.class1")' gives me an automation error. I've gone through about 3 iterations of this for most of the day and cannot sort out what I'm doing wrong. I have a feeling it's got to do with my .NET assembly settings and GACing but it all seems right.

Any help would be appreciated.

When you say you "GAC'd the .NET DLL manually", what do you mean? Did you use regasm.exe with the /TLB and /Codebase switches?

What I mean by that is that I dragged the DLL from the build folder to the 'Windows/assembly' folder.
