By reading the Visual Basic Manuals about how to call a DLL and checking about other posts here with specific problems and according examples for this!
Without a specific problem and its description nobody can possibly give you more detailed information.

You can find a lot of information here.

The LV DLL is built to expose it's methods as C functions. Thus to call it from VB.NET, you need to use the DllImport statement. I did a quick google search and this is a good, simple explaination on how to use DllImport

That depends on what you mean. You can have a VI front panel appear as a result of a call into the DLL - check the app builder settings and the documentation on how to do that. But you can't get a front panel control integrated into a VB.NET panel.

Brian, this is obviously impossible when the control is part of a running program, but don't the LV style control appear in the list of registered ActiveX controls as ComponentWorks controls? I'm not near a computer with LV at the moment to check.

Nishant, G is the language behind LV and the logo (and signature) points to Superman. As all my icons, this should also be a temporary one.

No almost all LabVIEW controls are native implementations in LabVIEW itself. They have nothing to do with Component Works or Active X at all, although I guess the Component Works developers did get some inspiration from LabVIEW controls but even more probably from LabWindows/CVI controls.

Exception to this is the 3D graph which is a Component Works control incorperated into LabVIEW through the Active X control container (and my own private opinion about this control is that it sucks in several aspects, being an Active X control is not the least of its faults).
