Creating a proxy for LLamaSharp with TB to consume in VB6

[tmighty2]

Hello everyone!

I'm still using VB6 for most of my projects, as they're very large and take years to migrate. So far, I only use TwinBasic (TB) partially.

With help from this forum, I already managed to create a TB proxy to call 64-bit DLLs from VB6 (link: https://www.vbforums.com/showthread....th-64-bit-SAPI).

Now I have a new case:
I need to use LlamaSharp, which is a .NET6 binding for llama.cpp. I already use it from VB.NET successfully. But I really want to move away from .NET and call it directly from VB6, or at least get as close as possible by using TB.

Unfortunately, I don't think it can be wrapped into a simple COM DLL, since it's 64-bit and not COM-friendly.
Also, I'm not experienced with pipes or out-of-process communication and would prefer a simpler way if possible.

Does anyone have an idea how I could use LlamaSharp (or llama.cpp in general) from VB6, ideally with TB as a bridge?

I’ve attached a small VB.NET sample to show what I currently use.

Thanks a lot in advance!
