Calling .NET classes from VB6

YvesDaoust asked:

I have written a class library using Visual C++ 2005 (CLR, old syntax). It is working fine and can be used from all .NET IDE's, including VB, C# and C++, exposing classes with methods and properties, enumerations...

Now I want to use it from VB6 and I understand that I need to somehow make it COM compatible.

I have read different things, some about COM Interop project properties, others mentioning the ComVisibleAttribute, others Type Libraries...

So far my different attempts have lamentably failed (no suitable options in the IDE, no TLB file being generated, the ComVisibleAttribute syntax raises an "Attribute Not Found" error...)

I am lost in the jungle and I need some guidance here. Who can help me ?

Read the question carefully.
Understand that English isn't everyone's first language so be lenient of bad spelling and grammar.
If a question is poorly phrased then either ask for clarification, ignore it, or edit the question and fix the problem. Insults are not welcome.
Don't tell someone to read the manual. Chances are they have and don't get it. Provide an answer or move on to the next question.
