Hi,
We have a dozens of VB6 components, developed some 5 years before, we
have now few .Net components which references these files. Ideally we are
using Biztalk server and referencing these VB6 components into that, what
happens is that during actual transaction with several instances, the
process(biztalk)
gets automatically shutdown.

on researching the problem it was found that all VB6 compentes were STA and
so when loaded into memory it caused a deadlock problem. The solun ideally is
to convert all the vb6 componets to .net components, but as of now this is
practically impossible.

can any one suggests an alternate method so that the process goes with MTA

Venkat,

It is really better to ask your question in the newsgroup

microsoft.public.dotnet.languages.vb
or if you want
microsoft.public.dotnet.languages.vb.update
(Almonst not active and done by people who are as well active in the first)

I hope this helps,

Cor
