Hi All,
Is there a way to determine if a Dll is a Com Dll or a .Net Dll ?
Any pointers are greatly appreciated.
Thanks,
Anushi

why not just point ILDASM at the DLL. If it's not .NET, you will find out
quickly.

Hi

I too got around with this same problem, but i've the solution only if it is
a VB5 or VB6 COM Dll. In the above two, the Dll Binary file will have a text
called MSVBVM (Microsoft Visual Basic Virtual Machine). So what you could do
is, in the Search->Files, goto the containing text and type "MSVBVM", so it
would list all the VB -COM Dlls
