    Cross language with VB.Net

    I've been trying to find the magic lines of code that will link my two projects together. I have a fully functional managed c++ application running and a fully functional windows application. I want to call some of the c++ functions (all of them actually except main()) from my gui except I have no clue how and windows doesn't exactly tell you. Help would be greatly appreciated!!

    look up using .dll files in visual basic. You can make them in c++ and then use them in visual basic.

    In your VB.NET project you can either add the entire managed C++ project or reference the compiled .dll
