VB.NEt dll and vbscript

I created a new dll class using vb.net 2010.

It has two functions:

Code:

---

Option Explicit On
Imports System

Public Class MYDLL
  Private Declare Function FxFindWindow Lib "user32" Alias "FindWindowA" _
    (ByVal szClassName As String, ByVal szWindow As String) As Long

    Private Declare Function FxSendMessage Lib "user32" Alias "SendMessageA" _
      (ByVal hWnd As Long, ByVal wMsg As Long, ByVal wParam _
      As Long, ByVal lParam As Long) As Long

    Private Const WM_CLOSE = &H10

    Public Function FindWindow(ByVal CaptionString As String) As Long
        FindWindow = FxFindWindow(vbNullString, CaptionString)
    End Function

    Public Function KillWindow(ByVal winHandle As Long) As Long
        KillWindow = FxSendMessage(winHandle, WM_CLOSE, 0, 0)
    End Function

End Class

---

I want to use the functions from a vbscript (vb) file from a program, so i execute the vb file to find a window. But I cant get it to work:

The dll is called MYDLL.DLL

Code:

---

Dim DataBin
Set obj = CreateObject("MYDLL.MYDLL")
DataBin = obj.FindWindow("txt - Notepad.exe")
Dim filesys, filetxt, getname, path
Set filesys = CreateObject("Scripting.FileSystemObject")
Set filetxt = filesys.CreateTextFile("C:\output.txt", True)
filetxt.WriteLine(DataBin)
filetxt.Close

---

but it says:
ActiveX component cant create object 'MYDLL.MYDLL'

So how do I fix this up?

(Yes Im new to vbscript)

If it's a .NET DLL then it's a .NET Assembly... not an ActiveX DLL ... if you want to call your .NET Assembly from something other than .NET (and yes, that's what you're trying to do) then you need to make is COM Callable... register it... then you can use it. Do do this, you'll need to go into the Project Properties, select Advanced Options (it's a button down at the bottom of the Compile tab, may need to scroll to get to it) and turn on the check mark for "Make COM Callable" (or something like that... it's at the bottom of the screen)... then re-compile the DLL. I think (but I'm not sure) that compiling will automatically register it with the system, if not, you'll need to do a regsvr32 on it... jsut like you would any other ActiveX component. Once that's done, you should then be able to create objects with it.
