Re: Converting .lib to .dll

Hi Neil

I have installed the network driver (Summit Client Utility) on my device and
it has installed a file, sdccf10g.dll, which I presume is the network
driver. The SDK that I have been supplied with contains 2 files sdk.lib and
sdk.h. Do these bear any relation to the driver file - is there a way of
seeing what functions are contained in the sdccf10g.dll file, and whether I
can use them, or are they likely to be the same as the .h file states? There
is also a readme file, admittedly with an earlier version of the SDK that in
answer to the question 'How can I use the SDK with .NET' replies 'You can
create a wrapper DLL for our SDK to use in your .NET applications', from
this I assume that it can be done. My main problem is that the SDK came from
our hardware supplier who understands less about this sort of thing than I
do, and that isn't alot. Thanks for your time.

Is it possible / easy to create a DLL from the LIB?

No, it's not. You need the DLL. The SDK is useless if you don't have the
DLL for the CF NIC as it's quite likely the DLL is also the driver for
NIC.
