I'll install the MSI and see if it has technical information on what it does. |I'm wondering if it avoids COM registration. |
It provides templates and will generate COM wrappers as well. For VB6 you still need COM registration or write a SxS manifest for it (probably too painful to get the VB6 IDE to recognise the manifest though (never tried)) >From .NET the SxS stuff should just work. |>Failing that, I would have tried the .NET UI as a user control ;) | |Yes, we're not going to try and make VB6 call .NET Forms (separate windows). |Our first option was to write everything but the UI in .NET, leaving only a thin |shell of a UI in VB6. | |Now we have a second option ... if this Interop kits works well then we can |perhaps easily reuse complete .NET controls in the VB6 app and slowly phase it |out. | Good luck
