Could you, please, be more specific and provide more details...
What exactly do you want to do?
What have you done?
VB.NET or VB6?

I checked.... it's not urgent at all. Did you read the FAQ? Clearly you did not. To use those DLLs you would have to P/Invoke the methods in them.

You learn how to use those DLLs by reading the documentation on each of the functions that they support.

First of all, make sure you really want it. In most cases, pure .NET FCL can be used to solve your problems. If you asked about your ultimate goals, you could have a chance to get some good ideas.

What you need is called P/Invoke. Please see:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/P/Invoke[^],
http://msdn.microsoft.com/library/en-us/vcmxspec/html/vcmg_PlatformInvocationServices.asp[^].

This CodeProject article can also be useful: Essential P/Invoke[^].

You should understand that your code for .NET, if written in a compatible platform-independent manner based on the CLR standard, can be executed on many other platforms, such as Linux, Max OS X, and more, without recompilation, mostly via Mono. Using P/Invoke will kill such platform compatibility.
