Can I use VB6 dll in vb.net?

Question

I know its possible to use com dll files created in vb6 but I am unable to see the public sub routines in the dll once I register and import it into my vb.net application. The vb6 dll includes 3 .bas files and one .cls file, I have noticed that I am able to see the public subs in my .cls portion of the dll but the other 3 .bas portions do not.

Do I have to make all code forms in the dll to .cls and not .bas? is there any difference when its compiled to com dll?

thank you in advance!!

Thank you this is not a bad solution to my problem except it does not show how to access the public subs in my .bas files from the dll.
