Q: 

Is there a way to reference a .NET DLL via its COM .tlb NOT by referencing the assembly?

Having started porting my VB6 code to .NET, I find .NET doesn't allow me to use the COM interface for the base program: "The ActiveX type library xxx.tlb was exported from a .NET assembly and cannot be added as a reference"

The problem is that the interface to the .NET assembly doesn't work, but the standard COM interface does. Is there any way around this?

TIA
