You can't really pass structs between C++ and VB. The best way for VB would be if you made your C++ object a COM object and provide get_ and put_ methods for the Name and Age properties of the object.

Yves, I have another suggestion, that has worked for myself and is easy to understand by most...


Create the code the way you want in VB. Put this code into a public objects of a COM DLL or OCX control. In VC create a class from the typelib.

Let the computer do the work!


Hope this helps...
