I have a C++ app in VS2005 and import a VB DLL. IntelliSense shows me all the symbols in the DLL as expected but it also shows all (or nearly all) of them again with an underscore prefix (no @s in them though). Why is this? What are the differences between the underscored items and the normal items?
A:
In (some) c# coding standards the underscore prefix denotes a private variable, that might explain it... is it VB or VB.Net?

Old school VB, not vb.net. I don't think it's a convention, since they don't appear written like that in the original VB.

A:
Are the symbols properties? If so, these might just be the private variables backing the properties.

A:
Assuming you're talking VB6, the leading underscore version _Klass is the Vb-generated default interface for the class Klass. This site has a nice explanation: http://www.15seconds.com/issue/040721.htm
