I have to write a ComVisible DLL for an Access developer. My DLL will send and receive messages over a Socket on behalf of the Access client. I certainly know that VB6 clients can consume my ComVisible code, but Access is unknown territory. So before I start any code I though it prudent to ask some sanity checking questions here first.
I haven't been told which version of Access I'm programming against (I'm waiting for a reply), but I think it's post 2000. . Can Access consume my registered ComVisible DLLs in the same way VB6 does? . Can the Access developer import a TLB to get a nice coding experience? . Can I give the Access client asynchronous callbacks when the socket returns? That is, can Access deal with COM callbacks without coding horror? Tomorrow I plan to write a dummy ComVisible DLL and give it to the Access developer as a proof of concept that my code can be consumed at all with reasonable ease. I can't continue of course until that sanity check passes. Any advice on this general matter of .NET vs Access would be most welcome. Greg
