Using a C++ or csharp .net dll in a Visual C 6.0 app?

Hey all -

I'm new to these, but have a question I was hoping for some help with...

Currently have a project/app that is built in and still compiled under MSVC 6.0.

Would I be able to create and build a dll in dotnet tech (either c++ or csharp) and link it into the MSVC 6.0 project? I currently have a 6.0 dll linked in and can open cwnd's, etc, but I'd like to try the next mod in dotnet.

If this can be done, are there any caveats that would make the interaction from 6.0 different from the current interaction with a 6.0 dll?

Thx!
 
If the DLL compiled by .NET is a COM DLL, you should be able to do calls from C++. I'm not sure what type of DLL .NET outputs, if there's only one type of DLL or what.
 
generally no, unless you host the .net runtime within your application, which is possible.
