Probably better off asking this in a .net group, but anyway.

Create a new class library project called COMInteropTest and rename class1
to be TestClass. Add a reference to System.Runtime.Remoting. Code for
class looks like;

Imports System.Runtime.InteropServices

<InterfaceType(ComInterfaceType.InterfaceIsDual) > _
Interface IMyInterface
Function SayHello() As String
End Interface

<ProgId("COMInteropTest.TestClass")> _
Public Class TestClass
Implements IMyInterface

Public Sub New()

End Sub

Public Function SayHello() As String Implements IMyInterface.SayHello
SayHello = "Hello"
End Function
End Class

Open a .net command prompt (or a normal command prompt and navigate to your
..net install folder) and type;

sn -k c:\strongname.snk

This will create a strong name file in your c:\ folder. Update the
AssemblyInfo.vb file to use this strong name like so;

<Assembly: AssemblyTitle("")>
<Assembly: AssemblyDescription("")>
<Assembly: AssemblyCompany("")>
<Assembly: AssemblyProduct("")>
<Assembly: AssemblyCopyright("")>
<Assembly: AssemblyTrademark("")>
<Assembly: CLSCompliant(True)>
<Assembly: AssemblyKeyFile("c:\strongname.snk")> ' <-- Add this

Build your dll and from your command prompt

gacutil /if cominteroptest.dll

this will add your assembly to the GAC. Now register it as a COM object by;

regasm cominteroptest.dll /tlb:cominteroptest.tlb

Phew. Now you can use it as normal

set obj = CreateObject("COMInteropTest.TestClass")
msgbox obj.SayHello
set obj = nothing

yes we can , we just need to browse and see in debug or release folder to get dll
and then add this reference to ur project or else simply copy dll of previous appln to current application 's bin folder
