Rena,
The only change that you need to make in creating a CIN in VC++.NET is to add the "\lvsbmain.def" path to the Linker>>Input>>Module Definition File field. You should have no issues creating the .lsb file that you will need to add to your VI. However, your question of if it will run is not known to me. If Windows 95 does not support the .NET run-time, then it might not work. It may be something that you have to test and see.
