Re: C++ in user mode dll

Tech-Archive recommends: Repair Windows Errors & Optimize Windows Performance

I dont know what COM is. When I was trying to learn COM, I came across this
statement
" Microsoft recommends that developers use the .NET Framework rather than
COM for new development ".

I dont understand how COM or .Net help me in place of my C++ class.

I use def file for C functions and dont have to use extern C. I use "WINAPI "
though and it compiles and links with App and executes properly.

I am trying to export a class or class member function. I am searching for
example to use in def file.

if you use the .def then you also need to add extern "C" to the declarations
of the functions you're going to export. Otherwise you'll have unresolved
symbol errors when linking

Try

TARGETTYPE=DYNLINK

.DEF file is also a very good idea. It will allow unmangled export
names,
so not only C++, but C code too will be able to work with the DLL.

Can I build a C++ user mode dll in DDK 3790 build window. I want to have
my

as
one software project.
