Trying to clarify my understanding :

I have a function in VB .net (checks to see the current status of a printer) Receives a param of type string, returns an integer. I would like to create a DLL that I can call from VFP to get that integer after passing it the string.

Do I just put the function in a module, compile it as a DLL, register it, and the do a oprinterchecker=creatobject('Printerchecker')
lnstatus=oprinterchecker.PrintStatus("\\server\LaserPrinter")

or is there something else I need to be thinking about?

TIA

Half the harm that is done in this world is due to people who want to feel important. They don't mean to do harm-- but the harm does not interest them. Or they do not see it, or they justify it because they are absorbed in the endless struggle to think well of themselves.
