Here's the situation. I have an old program in VB6 which I intend to keep as it is. Upgrading it to .NET would be just too troublesome, so that's not an option. What I'd like to accomplish is to develop a program in VB.NET that will allow me to read strings from the old program. For example, I'd like the old VB6 program to send its version (in string type) to the VB.NET program, which in trun will show the version on the VB.NET form (or just store it in the memory).

Is there any way of doing this? I know how to do this between two VB6 programs but I just can't figure it out for .NET. Does anyone here know anything about this? Any reference to a site or examples that I can follow would be just great!

Thanks in advance!
Eric.
