Re: Turning a EXE into a DLL

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


I am new to VC ++ so I am in need of some help. I have an application
written in vb.net and VB. The VB.NET application is using a control
that leaks memory and I am trying to eliminate or greatly reduce this
leak. So I am transfering it to C++.

That seems like a wrong reason to do it. That would mean you are doing
something wrong in your code rather than this being a limitation
of .Net.

I have gotten it working as a
MFC application using the VS 2003. Now I need to convert it to a DLL
that I can call from a VB6 application. I have reviewed all sorts of
information about how this is suppose to work.

There are couple of ways to do this, use a MFC regular dll or make it
a ActiveX control/COM server.

The main object from
this is that the EXE has a dialog screen open with a bunch of buttons
attached to it. I need to pass some parameters from the VB6
application to this dll so that it can operate properly. If someone
can give me some help it would be greatly appreciated. I can even
email you the application to look at.

I dont understand what and why you are doing this. Why not use VB/MF/
net all the way? You are making it needlessly complex.
