Creating a dll in VB

I am creating a dll in VB to be used in a C program. What do I need to do on the VB side to make sure that the functions are visible to the C application.

How do I load the library, and declare the functions in C so that I can call them.

Thanks for any help.

You can't make real dll's in vb. You can only make activex-dll's in vb.

Can you call an active-X dll from C?

yes, but i'm told it's very boring ;-)

Can you not use c++?

Yes I can, but C is prefered in this case. Long story. If it is too difficult in C then tell me how in C++

I'm just wondering ,why you don't do your dll in C or in C++?

That would be a lot easier to call, and maybe more efficient...

I am making a Socket connection to a server. I had initially tried to use the CSocket class in C++, but it would not raise the OnReceive event when data would come in. I would recieve the data, but I had to sit in a loop and check for it. That took away from my application time. My application is written in C, and I have no choice about that. Let me know if you have any ideas.
