Create COM object in VB.NET 1

[FRoeCassNet]

I have an older system (written in C++) which uses business rules stored in COM objects. I've written business rules in the past with VB6, but recently upgraded to VB.NET. I can't figure out how to create a COM object from VB.NET. How do I create a COM object so that my older system can load it and use it?

Thanks.

Hi

The following may help

In vb.net use the following:

dim obj as object
obj = server.createobject("Myobject&quot

This is the same problem I posted about, hwoever I figured out the answer. Create a New VB.net project of type Class Library. Remove the VB file created by the project wizard. Go to Project, Add Component and choose COM Class. Code the Class like a standard VB.net program. After compiling into a DLL, the compiler will output 2 files, theCOMObject.dll and TheCOMObject.tlb. The machines which you install the COM Object on must have the .net Framework installed. You will then be able to &quot;regasm TheCOMObject.dll /tlb:TheCOMObject.tlb&quot; which will allow access to the COM Object classes from a &quot;legacy&quot; (VB6<) app.
