Can anyone please supply me with a quick and easy way of putting a C++ class in a DLL and to access the class from Visual Basic.

I know this is a simple question, but I'm not a proffesional developer so to me this is quite hard to get my mind around.

I took a quick glance through the forums and couldn't see something similiar.

Thanks in advance

If you are using VB.NET you can wrap you C++ class using SWIG. Here is tutorial, you want the C# example. Even though it says C#, anything that works for C# will also work for VB.NET.
