Howto use VB.Net dll or exe in Java program

[yugho]

Dear all,

I'd like to write a Java program that could use functions in an existing VB.Net dll or exe. Is it possible to do that?

I had actually searched for methods online, and it seems like there's JNI which could do that, but after reading the implementation I got stuck. Could anybody help describe the steps to implement that (JNI)?

Or is there any better suggestion on how to use the VB.Net dll? Thanks a lot!

I'm sorry but I couldn't use any paid products here. I've read through some JNI tutorials, but I somehow find difficulties when creating the C++/VC++ bridge between Java and VB.Net. Could anybody please help me with this issue? Thanks!!

Yes, you can use .NET dll into java program.
Use System.loadLibrary method and some JNI features.
