I am trying to create a VB.net program that will use existing SDK (I have the complete code) which is written in C++. Is there a way to create a DLL from the VC++ code (Automatically converted from standard C/C++) and link this DLL to my VB .net Program so I am able to call the C++ functions from within my VB program? I do not need to change these functions, just retrieve the values and initiate communication. I am really looking for any way to use the C++ functions in VB, a DLL was the only thing I could think of, and its not working out as I had planned. Any ideas or new ways to create the DLL. I was using Microsoft “MFC DLL” in .NET to create the DLL’s and importing the .c and .h files?? Any idea please let me know....
Thank you in advance...

If you use the _StdCall convention, then your exposed functions will work with the Declare keyword in VB. However the best way for managed code would be to wrapper it in a COM (or even better COM+) library and digitally sign it - there are probably tools that'll do this for you in C++.NET.
