VB.NET ListView data from DLL (now working)

(1/1)

jross:
I want to pass the name of a directory in as a string into a DLL and and pass back some of the information about the files in the directory and put it into a ListView (or something like it). I have this working as a class, but there I can pass the list view object into the class, a DLL will not allow me to pass the list view object. So what type of object do I need to pass that will load easily into a list view with sub-items?

The only thing I could find on the internet anywhere was the list view needed to be passed as an object, but there was no example, so if that is the case I will probably have more questions like does the object than need to be cast in the DLL and if so what needs to be imported, because I was getting no where.

Thank You

I got it to work.
