I'm in a big jam and some of my larger customers are getting really upset but not as upset as my wife who has to manually type all the payroll info in right now. I'm getting desperate. Can anyone help?

Problem Background:
Our management app interfaces with a payroll program written in pure .NET. The payroll company uses a .NET DLL that contains functions to interface with their software. I was using the eTech... .NET emulator but the payroll program changed over to the latest version of .NET and it no longer works. I am now using wwDotNetBrige from West Wind and it works except for one function that even Ken Leavy can't get to work. The function takes an XML file of employee ids, gross pay and payroll dates as parameters. All I get back from DotNetBridge is that the function is not found.

Solution?:
I am thinking of creating a VB .NET app (all the samples from the company are in VB) and calling that from my VFP app. There is one problem, I know nothing about VB. I downloaded VP Express but I'm not having much luck trying to figure out how to read the XML file and other parameters, and run the function with them. I have looked all over the web and can't find the combination of stuff I need in a sample program or I don't understand how to make it work. Does can anyone know of one or would anyone want to make a few bucks helping me to make it work?
