On the Fortran side, I recommend giving the corresponding derived type the BIND(C) attribute for maximum interoperability. You can deal with any alignment yourself.<BR /> Tue, 16 Sep 2008 13:54:32 GMT https://community.intel.com/t5/Intel-Fortran-Compiler/How-to-set-up-a-function-to-be-called-from-vb-net-2005/m-p/885867#M76672 Steven_L_Intel1 2008-09-16T13:54:32Z
