VB.net to Standard DLL

[AnonGod]

The answer may very well be no, but it's good to get ideas

Been poking around the web for converting visual basic dll files to standard dll's. Pardon my not knowing, but I understand "standard dll's" as usually made in C++ and have exportable functions. (like windows api functions)

I see there are applications that will allow you to turn a vb6 activex dll into a standard dll. As well as do-it-yourselfs by creating a .def file (not sure here) and specifying the functions that are exportable.

I have an application that allows for plugins, but they must be in standard importable functions. I've got the function names and definitions, but my C++ knowledge is minimal.

So, I have not experimented with this yet with either vb6 or .net, but has anyone heard of, or tried, doing this? At the end of the day, it would be nice to build my functions in vb.net, do some conversion process, and have a standard dll.

Any ideas?

Thanks!
