Instantiating a class with no constructor

I am trying to use a class that unfortunately does not have a constructor defined. When I try to create the object C# tells me that there is no predefined constructor. I was told that this class was created in Visual Basic 6 many years ago, and that somehow in VB the constructor was not needed.

Can anyone think of any solutions for this problem. Maybe a I could declare a new class and inherit the old one. Then in the new class I could create the constructor. 

    someClass  myClass= new someClass();
    //Returns an error saying no constructor can be found at all.

It might have an internal constructor. See this answer. This would mean you won't be able to access the constructor from a different assembly. (See MSDN.)

There might be some method in that assembly that instantiates an instance of that class. Try finding a method like that, and call it to get an instance of someClass.
