Same category different subject:
I have been making ( C ) dlls to pass into VB.
For the most part I have had success.
passing bytes back and forth. 
The only way I have passed character arrays is one byte at a time.
Which of course works but seems very unprofessional.
I have tried passing by character arrays by reference but, have only 
recieved "y|||||yyy||" garbage when back in VB.
I have allocated memory to strings and tried again.
But, I still have not had much success.
If someone has a small example of a C string passed to a VB array I would 
like to look at it.
... Careful. We don't want to learn from this.
