VB.NET has that capability and then some.

There are two kinds of .DLL's that VB6/VB.NET can use. Library .DLL's that have a bunch functions in them that you can call only by using the Declare statement and COM .DLL's, like you mentioned, where you add a reference to the COM objects, that the registered .DLL exports, and use them like any other class.

VB.NET can do both just as easily, and with far more flexibility than VB6 can. For the COM version, all you do is right-click your project in the Solution Explorer, then click "Add Reference...". In the dialog box that comes up, just click the COM tab to see everything that is registered on your machine. Click the ones your want, then click the Select button, then OK.
