You can try to open it in a reflection tool to see if it's .NET. You can also open it in a hex editor and look at the first block of info to try to tell from that.

it is possible to add visual basic dll to .net project as a reference

It would be stupid, given how useless VB6 is, but any DLL can be used in .NET using p/invoke.

To find the detailed information like AssemblyInfo,about any dll i will sugget u should use->Resource Tuner (Through it u will also be able to edit)

&&

If u want to explore the code of dlls then u have to use
Red Gate's ->.Net Reflector (Install it,after than download Reflector.Disassembler,then add it through tools - addin-add disassembler dll ) Complete

Now u can explore any dll file.
