No you can’t.
The
DllImportattribute is used to invoke native / un-managed functions from managed code – VB.Net is managed not native, and so you can’t run VB.Net functions throughDllImport/ P/Invoke.To use VB.Net functions in other VB.Net projects you should either add a reference to that assembly, use a common referenced interface or base class, or use Reflection.
