I have a VB6 DLL that is referenced by many other VB6 clients. This DLL has binary compatibility set. Is it possible to write a .NET replacement for this DLL (with the same name, methods, etc.) and make it 'binary compatible' with the VB6 version such that I wouldn't have to re-reference and recompile the numerous VB6 clients that formerly referenced the older VB6 version of the DLL?

Thanks in advance.

NO! But as has been advised before, you could change it so that any calls to it are passed through to the .Net dll and then passed back...



Good Luck
