The library I was referring to is written in C# but you can compile it into
a .dll and then just reference it and call it from VB.Net, so there's no
need to convert it. Let me know if you want it.

Paul,
Have you looked at Adam Nathan's book ".NET and COM - The Complete
Interoperability Guide" from SAMS Press?

Adam has a chapter or two on calling API functions, both from C# & VB.NET,
plus he includes C# declarations for Win32 functions in GDI32.DLL,
KERNEL32.DLL, OLE32.DLL, SHELL32.DLL and USER32.DLL.

Hope this helps
Jay

I have code that works in vb6, I have dilligently tried to convert to vb.net

snippets of vb / c# / c++ in the hope of finding why my efforts in .Net
fail - but sadly to no avail.
As far as I can tell, MS has removed the ability for a vb-er to use
