Hi, Paul

If the unmanaged .dll is COM based:

1) Use Tlbimp
[http://msdn2.microsoft.com/en-us/library/tt0cf3sx(vs.80).aspx]
2) Examine file with
Ildasm
[http://msdn2.microsoft.com/en-us/library/f7dy01k1(VS.80).aspx]
3) And than wrap with
RCW [http://msdn2.microsoft.com/en-us/library/8bwh56xe.aspx]

i tried this:

Dim result As DialogResult

result = ofd1.ShowDialog()

If result = Windows.Forms.DialogResult.OK Then
''
'' for this example ofd1.filename =
"c:\windows\system32\wininet.dll"
''
System.Diagnostics.Process.Start("C:\Program Files\Microsoft
Visual _Studio 8\SDK\v2.0\Bin\tlbimp.exe " & ofd1.FileName &
"/out:myTest.dll")
Threading.Thread.Sleep(5000)
System.Diagnostics.Process.Start("C:\Program Files\Microsoft
Visual _Studio 8\SDK\v2.0\Bin\ildasm.exe myTest.dll/out:myTest.il")
End If

Paul,

Debug more carefully: Drive:\Path\TlbImp.exe
;)
