First create a DLL project with the two classes in.
This is what I do:

class foo
{
   Create ();
};

// DLLs follow the C calling convention, so there
//is no standard way to export classes directly. MSVC
// provides a nonstandard way though.
extern "C"
{
_declspec (dllexport) int InitDLLInterface (foo** obj)
{
  *obj=new foo;
  return 0;
}
_declspec (dllexport) void ShutdownDLLInterface (foo** obj)
{
  delete obj;
}
}

If you link in the DLL's *.lib file, the OS will
automatically load the DLL at startup. Or you could
load it via MSVC ::LoadLibrary().

Sorry, dont know how to link DLLs with VB though.

Good Luck!

The dll was great. But i want to know how the above code implement in in a class.

waiting for a postive response

As you said,how to implement this code in a class.If I got your problem right, you need to create an MFC extension dll.
After creation and successful registration of this dll you can add reference in VB project.please go through the link below (if not found):

When you raised this question by saying you have an application using COM interface,why don't you create COM dll?
