I'm in the process of converting a complex system from VB6 and C to C#. However now I'm in a position where I need to call a C# dll from VB6 and I need it yesterday. The only solution I found was using Interop, which didnt work, and seemed to be excessively complex on the installation end. Any suggestions?

That would be nice, if it were possible.

I know you can use a VB6 ActiveX component in .NET, but I really doubt you can go the other way.

I have some projects I would like to complete using some drop in .NET components in VB6, but they will not load in VB6.

One simple way could be (Way around instead, if you are interested)
1. Create SQLCLR in C#
2. Deploy it as a stored procedure in SQL
3. Now in vb6 just call a stored procedure and it can call your C# code.

Cheers.
