I tried that, but kept getting errors: &quot;Not an importable DLL. &nbsp;Please make sure the DLL is a COM type.&quot; Or something like that. &nbsp;I ended up writing a VB6 DLL (I still can't believe I went backwards in technology) that referenced my tlb library. &nbsp;Generated dll from that. &nbsp;And when I referenced that dll from my .net project, the tlb library carried over it's dll through Interop.<br />
Thanks anyway.

<div class="content wysiwyg-content">
I have a third-party app that's used to FTP files from our server to theirs. &nbsp;The root directory of this app contains a ProgAPI.exe and ProgAPI.tbl.<br />
If I drag this .tlb file into my vb.net app and drop it, it exposes some methods within the Object Browser window. &nbsp;<br />
I tried to reference both of these files, but got errors: &quot;A reference to '' could not be added. &nbsp;Please make sure that the file is acceptable, and that it is a valid assembly or COM component.<br />
<br />
Is there any was to import, reference these files so I could use the exposed methods? If yes, I need to exactly how.
