Pardon Noob questions...

Why would somebody create a component using vs.net 2.0 and C# ? To use
it from non .net solutions or unmanged code?

dumb question, I'm finding these instructions for compiling c# into a
component dll from the command line..

csc /r: REFRENCE DLL /t library /out DLLNAME.DLL Program name.cs

How, does one do this from Visual studio 2005 and C# 2.0 ?

Not sure on your wording, but it sounds like you mean class libraries. The
main reason for creating class libraries is reuse of code. Compile into a
DLL and you can use across many projects.

Is this what you were asking about, or did I miss the point?

I guess it's wording I'm trying to work out. I guess I'm trying to draw
a distinction between creating a class library and creating a
component. Is there a difference? Was there a difference between 1.1
and 2.0?

Can compenents created with .NET be used by non .NET software like vb6
executables?

Thanks.
