Base Reference: Ten Code Conversions for VBA, Visual Basic .NET, and C#

Note: I have already created and imported a *.dll, this question is abou

Answer 1

The answer is no: there is a built-in VBE feature that recognizes the references added to a project and creates aliases at run-time(VBE's runtime) if there are no name collisions

In case of name conflicts in your registry all . dots will be replaces with _ underscores.

» ProgId's   (Programmatic Identifiers)

In COM, it is only used in late-binding. It's how you make a call to create a new object

Dim myObj = CreateObject("TestNamespace.Test")

» EarlyBinding and LateBinding

In early binding you specify the type of object you are creating by using the new keyword. The name of you object should pop up with the VBA's intellisense. It has nothing to do with the ProgId. To retrieve the actual namespace used for your object type - open Object Explorer F2 and locate it there

This article explain where the names come from in Early Binding Section
