>If a DLL is created with .NET, how can you find out if it is created with .NET

If you mean from C++, see "Interoperability", "Is there any way to
find out if a given DLL is managed or unmanaged without trying to load
it?" at

http://msdn.microsoft.com/library/en-us/vcmex/html/vcconmanagedextensionsforcfrequentlyaskedquestions.asp

>and whether it has a strong name, etc.

Mscoree.dll exports a bunch of functions for working with strong
names. See StrongName.h in the .NET Framework SDK include directory.
