You need to use COM (Automation Library, like vb6/delphi/vba...). Also look this:

thanks for reply.

well. it look very long way.  little bit hard to understand.

i better do in dll instate of making exe file.
in the vb6 there was just few line code and easy to understand. but vb.net feeling really hard.
BTW what will be good exe or dll?
