prolly not too bad, a few milli's maybe, but why not ditch the vb6 dll's altogether, and put the code in the c# dll straight away? Better yet make the c# dll a plugin while youre at it.

If you need a converter you can use ZK's .net dll converter which will generate the string table and convert the dll to be dropable into dbp plugins-user folder.

oh. yeah actually it is.
your c# dll will have to instance the vb6 dll thru com interop. just ref the the dll, then create the instance, then away you go.

but then youll need dbp to "see" the c# dll which is another matter entirely
