Interop Forms Toolkit 2.0 is a new bridging tool allowing developers to use .NET Forms and .NET UserControls in VB6. This tutorial demonstrates how to add webservices, multithreading, and XAML to VB6 projects. It also provides custom C# Interop UserControl templates for use with the Toolkit.
Imports Microsoft.InteropFormTools

' This ComVisible attribute is placed outside of the 
' AssemblyInfo.vb file since the Project Properties
' Designer will change the attribute in that file when
' the "Register For COM Interop" option is checked.
' If the attribute is added to that AssemblyInfo.vb
' it will cause a compile error so simply delete it.
<Assembly: System.Runtime.InteropServices.ComVisible(False)> 

' This property is included in the My namespace, so it will show up in IntelliSense after referencing My.
Namespace My
    ' The HideModuleNameAttribute hides the module name MyInteropToolbox so the syntax becomes My.InteropToolbox.   
    <Global.Microsoft.VisualBasic.HideModuleName()> _
    Module MyInteropToolbox

        Private _toolbox As New InteropToolbox

        Public ReadOnly Property InteropToolbox() As InteropToolbox
            Get
                Return _toolbox
            End Get
        End Property
    End Module
End Namespace
