acedInvoke in VB .NET

Anonymous — Tue, 14 Mar 2006 07:55:19 GMT

Hello,
can anyone please tell how to use the command 'acedInvoke' from VB .NET. I found a lot of examples for #Sharp, but I am not able to translate it to VB .NET.
By the way, is this the only method to call a command from a modal dialog?
Regards, Jan
