I'm new to VB. I've searched about the web and there are many
flavors of answers to this. I[m not sure which way(s) to try, as
each has some questions I don't have answers to.

Here's what I need to do:

-Using VB 2005 .NET
-Using a provided unmanaged DLL whose path I will learn at runtime
-Make calls into that DLL, passing various parameters including ptrs

I've done Load Library before from C++, but never from a managed
code base like .NET.

Anyone have any examples or guidance to lend?

I.. I didn't feel like it.

First, I would try asking in one of the "dotnet" groups who will have a
bit more experience

(my server doess't hold microsoft.public.vb.general so I can't reply to
there)
