VB.Net DLL in VBA

[germanfever]

Hi
somebody please help me, how to access the DLL created in VB.Net from VBA. I created the class library in VB.Net2008. It works fine if I call the DLL from another VB.Net program. When I try to use it in VBA, it is not working, when I searched other websites, there are some many confusing explanations about COM, compile, etc.
I have a function

Class1
private function adduk(a as integer, b as integer)
dim c as integer
c=a+b
return c
End Function
End Class1

In VBA I called the dll as
Public Declare Function additionuk Lib "d:\ClassLibrary1.dll" (aa As Integer, bb As Integer) As Integer

and in the main module I called like
c = adduk(a,b)

But it is not working. Somebody please help me how to find a solution.

Thanks

I assume that is a simplified example? If not then why bother with a DLL in the first place - just put that code in your VBA project.

I haven't used VBA for a long time but I assume its still COM based, in which case you'll need to enable COM interop. Go to your projects properties.. on the application tab click "Assembly Information" and then make sure "Make assembly COM-visible" is checked.

Hi keystone_paul,
Thanks for your reply. I gave here a small example to understand the process. In my project it has so many functions which are used for Hardware interfaces. I don't want to confuse others with my big codes.
I tried the same way you explained "COM-visible", it is enabled and built the DLL file. I don't know how to call the DLL and its function in VBA.
Thanks
