Perhaps I wasn't very clear.

Project 1 (VB) defines Class1

Project 2 (C#) defines a class Class2 with a method "takeClass1Arg(Class1
c1Arg)"

Project 3 (VB) defines a class Class3 with a method "takeClass1Arg(c1Arg as
Class1)"

Project 4 (VB) can call the method in Project 3 with no problem

Project 4 (VB) can NOT call the method in Project 2

Obviously, Project 4 must have a valid reference to Class1 in order to
call the takeClass1Arg() in Project 3.  (e.g.
"myClass3Obj.takesClass1Arg(xxx)")

But when given the call "myClass2Obj.takesClass1Arg(xxx)" [note I'm passing
the same variable of the same type (Class1)] I get the error message telling
me that I must add a reference to Class1 to Project 4.
