Answer 1

Reflection is your friend. Add a Imports System.Reflection and try the following:

Sub Main()
    Dim ass As Assembly = Assembly.LoadFile("sample.dll")
    Dim t_sam As Type = ass.GetType("sam")
    Dim hh_m As MethodInfo = t_sam.GetMethod("hh", BindingFlags.Public Or BindingFlags.Static)
    hh_m.Invoke(Nothing, New Object() {})
End Sub
