eVB to VS.NET

[Vince]

Good day all. I have a dll written using eVB that I would
like to use in a VB.NET compact framework application. I
an not sure where to begin. Since Studio 2003 only allows
you to reference .NET compatible objects, how do I go
about using an eVB object in compact framework. Any help
is greatly appreciated.

Thank you!

No can do. This is precisely the scenario that is not supported. There is no
COM interop in Compact Framework. One way to deal with it would be to
rewrite eVB component in VB.NET

Thanks for the reply. Since it is a 3rd party object, rewriting it is
not an option. Looks like I would have to write my application in eVB
to use it then.

Thanks for the reply. Since the dll is a 3rd party
product, rewriting it is not an option. Looks like I will
have to write my application in eVB to use it.

Didn't think it was possible to write a dll in eVB

If you have a 3rd party com control that works... there is alway Odyssey's
CFCOM control.

A little something to start the juices flowing....

Use PInvoke.
Someone in this newsgroup pointed me to this link....it is very good:

Also search within this group for PInvoke messages to get more ideas on how
to call a DLL that is non .NET.
