I want to use a VB.NET dll in a VB6 program. Is it possible?

Question

I am having problems when using a VB.NET dll in a VB6 program. I have already created my dll with the GuidAttribute, used the RegAsm to create a tlb and added it to the references of my VB6 program. The problem is when I try to create the object using CreateObject function, however the following error shows up "ActiveX component can't create object."

I don't know if I am missing any declaration on VB.NET to use it as a dll or if I am not using the CreateObject function properly.
