vb.net anger

I have wanted to make my own AIM client in Visual Basic for the longest time. I now have to skills to do so, but with one very big problem. I know VB.net, not 6.0. All the ocx's that i need to make my client have been made in 6.0. The one I really want, oscsock, I have tried many times to update through the .net updater. I have been unsuccessfull. Here is a link to his code: http://www.pscode.com/vb/scripts/ShowCode.asp?txtCodeId=43691&lngWId=1
if anyone can tell me how to using it in .net, that would be great.

Any COM component that is properly registered on your OS can be used through COM Interop. It's very easy. I'm pretty sure all you need to do is click Project->Add Reference... and you can select the COM tab. If what you are using is a COM compliant ActiveX control you should find it here.

I just downloaded the code, and I don't see an OCX anywhere. It looks a user defined control that is written in VB and provided as source only. Maybe if I get some time later I could convert that to an ocx for you.

Thank you very much for this information. If you can get that made, it would be very nice. Thank you very much, again.

I compiled it as an independant ocx. This does not guarantee that it'll work. It should, but things rarely do what they should. Email me so I can reply with the ocx file. ray_mcdowell@hotmail.com

Also, there was an error I had to clear up. The following function was screwed up...
[code]
Public Function inviteFriend(strEmail As String, strMessage As String) As String
A1 = ChrA("0 6 0 2 0 0 0 1 0 2")
inviteFriend = A1 & TLV(17, strName) & TLV(21, strMessage)
End Function
[/code]
This function gets a parameter named strEmail, but doesn't use it...
It also tries to use an undeclared variable named strName...
I took a guess and renamed strName -> strEmail.
It's possible I should have changed the name of the parameter, but now it compiles. Just remember when using this function you might need a Name not an Email.
