using a C# dll in VB6 error: "Can't add reference to the specified file"

Hello,http://www.vbforums.com/images/smilies/wave.gif

I'm new here, this is my first post.
I am having a problem in using a C# dll in VB6. I cannot reference it.
VB6 says "Can't add reference to the specified file" whenever i reference
the dll. Please help. I can't figure out what the problem is.

Thanks!

Welcome to Forums! :wave:

Did you write C# dll or is it something you downloaded?
If you did it yourself then read this article to find out what's missing.

Hey,

Thanks for the link. yeah my teammate wrote it in C# then I have to use it in vb6. I will let him checkout the link and let him check if he has any error. all the while i thought the problem was on VB6 side.

thanks again. I will give feedback once it's already resolved. =D

Hello again rhino,

My teammate already compiled a tlb so i can use it in vb6. the problem is i don't know how to register a tlb file. is it the same with regsvr32?

thanks in advance!

Best way is ask you friend to give you an installation package. Otherwise I think you need to use utility like the Regasm.

I've already registered my tlb but there is still an error that says,
"ActiveX component cant create object".

i have already declared it as

Global fileCheckSum As New checksumcalc.MyCheckSumCalc

and then

Set checkSum = fileCheckSum.MyCheckSumCalc
MsgBox (fileCheckSum("C:\Fact"))

Am I missing something?
I cant seem to make it work. please help.

Thanks!

Not sure if this will give you anymore useful information that RhinoBull hasn't already mentioned.
