VB5/6 ActiveX EXE Equivalent in VB.NET

[BobBooker]

I have written a few ActiveX EXE components in VB6 and I am looking for the VB.NET equivalent.

I went to the MS website and they tell me it is a class library in .NET. So I created a class library but can only see the option for DLL (no EXE option). Please can somebody point me in the right direction?

Also I will need to see the components GUID listed in the registry so that I can put another GUID in it's implemented categories (then I can see it as a reference in a CRM package that I have).
I have been told that .NET doesn't use the GUID, but it can still be generated and seen in the registry, but they didn't know how?

Many thanks in advance
Bob

Just use a standard vbForm app and use it like you would have used a com component.

Reference it and call it's methods (even easier than com) when you get used to it. You will need to do a search of the file if it isn't strongly typed and registered with your .Net assemblies.
