I thought I'd work off the thread I found, but Fordy locked the post whenever I tried to get some clarification on the resolution.
It seemed logical to keep related info in the same post so that if someone searched the board for the info they'd find it in one place.
Plus it was nice not having to start from square one. Oh well. Please add this odd rule, "Keep related info in completely seperate topics to create a mess" to the board rules so everyone is aware of it so they don't make the same mistake I did.


I was interested in finding out what the best return type would be for a C++ dll function so that it is usable in VB. I would prefer something that easily converts from a STL string.

The solution in the other post declared a
Code:
String *
but it did not show what header was included for this and the cpitalized S confuses me as to what it is, or perhaps it's something only used in .NET?

Thanks in advance for your replies. I would link to the other post for clarification since there was some good info there but I think that would anger the moderators and they would call it cross linking, or illegal cross referencing, or some other phrase that makes them feel really clever.
