Re: PB Generated DLL

Tech-Archive recommends: Speed Up your PC by fixing your registry

Well, do you have any *.DEF file in your DLL project?

Thanks Paul,

Checked with good old dumpbin and the extern "C" route looks to be producing
the standard non mangled exports. Must be something else ...

Well, those two will definitely generate different results. You can use the
dependency viewer that should be installed in the Visual Studio path
somewhere (search for "depend"), to see what actually was exported, or you
can use dumpbin, the command line tool, to see what's in the DLL.

Hi,

IS there a trick to exposing the entry points from a PB generated DLL ?

I have tried extern

"C" __declspec(dllexport)
__declspec(dllexport)

And the dotnet app thats trying to latch onto these always throws a
EntryPointNotFound exception ?

Any idea of the correct linkage to use ?

Thanks

nick
