calling a VB dll from C++

[BigCTD]

Hi,
I am a novice programmer with limited experience. I am looking for some guidance in accessing a dll that is written in visual basic. I have been given the dll and told what the functions are that I need to implement in my C code. The problem I am having is I don't know how to interface to this dll, is there anyone who can help explain what I have to do or send me to a site that explains this? From what I have found so far, it seems that calling a VB dll from a C++ program is unusual. I am using visual studio 2005 for my code, the VB dll was written in VS 2008.

Thank you

Since they are both creted in .Net, It does not matter what language they were created in. That is one of the major benifits of the .Net platform, any language can call functions written by any other language. All you need to know is how to access DLL functions from c++. Here is the link to Microsofts documentation on accessing DLL's from c++.

I discovered that I need to call the dll explicitly, however none of the functions in the VB dll are exported. Do I now need to create a COM interface in order to access the functions in VB? If so is there a tutorial that shows how to do this?

Thanks
