I need to reference a C++ dll from my Java project. The method that I need to expose is actually written in Visual Basic. Is there any way to access the Visual Basic code in C++, so that it can eventually be accessed in the Java project?

jmac posted the original question on my behalf. I needed to find a way to call VB DLL function from a C++ DLL.
I’ve given up on the VB DLL and opted for a C# DLL. The following link provides a downloadable Visual Studio solution that provides a project called DLLExporter that exports C# functions thus making them available to C++. The VS solution was written in a version earlier than 2010 but the VS 2010 migrator had no problem importing it.

It solved my problem.
For the record, I tried to wrap my VB DLL inside the C# DLL but it didn’t work. So I just migrated my VB code to C#.
