hi..
I want to add a dll named rtb.dll to my vb.net project and use its function. But when i add it through Add Reference, it gives following error:
"This is not valid Assembly or COM component"

How can i add this dll in my project and use its function?

No this is neither .Net assembly nor COM component

then you will need to do something like this after registring your dll

Private Declare Ansi Function WNetGetConnection Lib "mpr.dll" Alias "WNetGetConnectionA" (ByVal lpszLocalName As String, ByVal lpszRemoteName As System.Text.StringBuilder, ByRef cbRemoteName As Int32) As Int32
