calling CVF from Visual Basic

[Intel_C_Intel]

Is there a document or an example which shows how to call Fortran routines from VB Code ?

Is using Fortran DLLs the only way ?

Thank you,

There is a chapter in the Visual Fortran Programmer's Guide on mixed-language programming, including extensive discussion of VB. There are also VB examples provided with CVF and on the Compaq Fortran web site under Downloads, Samples.

I would not say that using aDLL is the only way, but it is the usual way. Other methods are much more difficult.

Does the Programmer's Guide come with the purchase of Compaq Visual Fortran - Professional Edition ?

Is there someplace from which I can download or view a copy ?

Thank you,
Cliff

Yes, it is included, but in an on-disk form only. You can read it from Help..Fortran Home Page in Developer Studio, or from the Online Documentation shortcut in Start..Programs..Compaq Visual Fortran 6.

It can also be read from our web site at http://compaq.com/fortran/docs
