execute a .dll file?

[shmickz]

Hello, i was just browsing by, and thought this would be the best spot to ask this question.

What i would like to do is, in my project, i need to launch a form that will be monitored by my project until it closes. such as, clicking a button, and having a form open, and while that form is open, the other form is still free to move, and respond to user action, but will know when that form is closed. Now, i know this can be accomplished by using a simple...

Dim i as new fclsMyForm
i.ShowDialog()

but again, i would like to be able to interact with my main form while this other form "fclsMyForm" is open. Now... I have created a separate executable project, that is using an entrance of Sub Main... and checks command line paramaters with a select case, and based apon the "/whatever" it will execute certain code. and my main form will monitor this without locking up do to starting my other executable in a process, and .WaitForExit, in a separate sub procedure, and launching that from a separate thread. so now on to my main question, this is fine with the separate executable, but i dont really want more than 1 executable, I know it can be done, but i want to have like a dll or a data folder with my program, and launch like this:

procNewForm.StartInfo.FileName = _
Application.StartupPath & "\data\module.dll /dothis"

where "module.dll" is my other project, and "/dothis" will be one of the things it will execute.

I know how all of the "/blahblah" arguments work, my only question is, how to execute a .dll that i have compiles, so that it will execute, kinda like RegServ32.dll or something like that.

or even like ebay's "eBayISAPI.dll" please please help

Please Help......
