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.

Democracy is two wolves and a sheep voting on what to have for lunch.
Liberty is a well-armed sheep contesting the vote.
