Imports System.IO

i am trying to import the class MemoryStream fro mscorlib.dll

If mscorlib.dll is an activex dll then you first have to make a reference to the dll.
Then you can use the available classes (I used a fake name):

the problem is it cant be added to refrences
i think it has to be called in same way of calling functions from dll
where we say
declare function XXXXXXXX lib XXXXX.dll
we use this way without add the dll in refrences

You'll have to create a CCW (COM Callable Wrapper) in .net that wraps the MemoryStream methods. Then call that in VB6.

Alternatively, consider using the IStream interface and writing a wrapper around it.

i dont understand that
i am still studying .NET and i am not that strong to do that
all i am asking for is
what is the equvelant statment of
"#include" or "imports" in vb6
is that too hard to be done??????

VB6 and .Net are not compatible with one another, not without creating a compatibility layer. This is what CCW does.
