I have to disclaim this as I have no experience doing it, but merely found that it should be possible given some reading of the docs on the subject. I'm not sure you'll have much luck with the VB to .NET import/conversion process if there is a lot of low level stuff going on. The existing dll is likely a COM object, no? It seems like there is some MSDN documentation to get you started from C++ using COM object dlls - and it looks like the <code>#import</code> directive will generate some .h (header) files as well. <a href="http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/8etzzkb6.aspx" rel="nofollow">http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/8etzzkb6.aspx</a> So I would try simply adding an <code>#import</code> directive for it. <code>#import "somelibrary.dll"</code> and see what visual studio generates. Have a look at the following example as well, (copied shamelessly from another forum) <pre><code> #import "F:\proj\VB6\ActiveXDLL\VBTestDLL.dll" using namespace VBTestLib; void CDialogTestDlg::OnButton1() { HRESULT hresult; CLSID clsid; _CTest *t; // a pointer to the CTest object _bstr_t bstrA = L"hello"; _bstr_t bstrB = L" world"; _bstr_t bstrR; ::CoInitialize(NULL); hresult=CLSIDFromProgID(OLESTR("VBTestLib.CTest"), &clsid); hresult= CoCreateInstance(clsid,NULL,CLSCTX_INPROC_SERVER, __uuidof(_CTest),(LPVOID*) &t); if(hresult == S_OK) { bstrR = t->vbConcat(bstrA , bstrB); AfxMessageBox((char*)bstrR); } } </code></pre>

A row detail

Detail views are divided into sections. All the information in the data section comes from columns in the selected row. The other sections display data from other, related rows.

Related data can be related in a to-one or a to-many fashion. Captions of data related in a to-many fashion link to a list view showing a filtered view of the table.

Try moving around until you find a non-empty to-many entry and click on the label to get to one. You can move back to the root by clicking on the database name in the header.
