Chris,
thanks a lot for your quick answer.
Let's say, I might have got an audio analyzer with its libraries based on .NET. Let's further assume, I have to call just a couple of procedures to do my analysis.
Would it be feasible to write some wrapper procedures in VB which do the parameter passing, pack them into a DLL and import this DLL in BlackBox ?
Does this approach make sense ?

Best regards,
Rainer
