Bruno, I think you missed the fact that he wants to use it in "classic" VB/ASP - and that means <=VB6. It is possible to create COM compatible wrappers for .net classes (assemblies) but will probably be a lot of work. I also have no idea how you will get around the fact that there are abstract classes that need to be inherited for some functionality in iText (or at least I think this is the best way to do quite a few things), and that ain't possible with VB6 (with the exception of the special case of forms, but that is a hardcoded-into-language exception). I suggest you tell you boss it's not possible and that you really should be using .net anyway. :-) Cheers Antoine ------------------------------------------------------------------------- Take Surveys.
