Compiling a .lib and .h file to a COM .dll

[a.wilco]

Hi, im a c# hobbyist programmer by nature, so I don't know much about
the internals of C++/C (I know .cpp and .h files, but .lib are new to
me). I have a .lib library file and a corresponding .h file detailing
the functions available in the library (I presume that's how these go
together), In order to use this in a C# app I would like to compile
these into a COM-visible dll file. Is this possible and if so how
would I do this? I have Visual Studio 2005 so any IDE specific help
would be appreciated also.

Thanks.

It's possible and relatively easy, but you need to ask in an appropriate
group because it's platform- and tool-specific, off-topic here.

The FAQ lists some group suggestions.
