Use JNI, Load your dll and call native functions

In Java there's basically two good options for this: (in order of recommendation)

If your DLL has C function headers (rather than C++ decorations), you should use JNA. It has a simple, declarative syntax and only requires writing some Java.
Write JNI bindings for your DLL (there'll be some Java and some C++ code involved).

Hi Mark, as I stated in my first post, DLL is a pure vb.net code. So I should go abt having JNI. Any samples you have to know wat exactly needs to be done in C++
