Hybrid programming with VB and matlab based on COM

A method of hybrid programming with VB and Matlab is introduced, which is based on COM. By means of Matlab COM builder in Matlab 6.5 as a convertion tool, Matlab's M-function files can be converted into a COM component applied in VB. The integrated software can not only take full advantages of VB and MATLAB, but also run independently without Matlab. The process of realization and a sample program both indicate that this method is simple and convenient.
