Google is not my friend tonight. Or I am just being too
impatient. Anyway can someone point me to relevant MSDN
articles (or other up-to-date technical info) regarding
parameter passing between (unmanaged) C DLLs and VB.net
programs.

I haven't done that since the 16-bits days (VC1.5 & VB3).
I hope to be able to use my old, trusty VC6, and the client
would be VB.net. Not VB6, does that make a difference?
I suppose I am really asking if VB.net is allowed to call
unmanaged code. Somebody mentioned "Platform Invoke" in
the vb.winapi NG, but I have no idea what that means...

Thanks in advance for pointers, examples or hints,

Tx Jason, looks like I've got a lot of reading ahead!

Bernard.
