Using a VB6 DLL w/o a tlb file in a .NET application

Asked by pdarata in .Net Editors & IDEs, Microsoft Visual C#.Net

I am working with a piece of equipment from a third-party vendor that came with a DLL and a sample VB6 application.  I need to use the supplied DLL in a .NET app written in C#.  I tried to add the DLL as a reference but got an error telling me to make sure the DLL was a valid assembly or COM component.  The vendor supplied the DLL and a .lib file but no .tlb file.  How can I access the DLL from my C# application?
