Hi, I've written a number of functions into a DLL file in Visual Basic 2005 Express, but I'm having difficulty understanding how to access these functions from DarkBASIC Professional. Does anyone know how to intergrade a VB 2005 made DLL into DarkBASIC Professional?

Use Cattlerustler's .NET to DBP plug-in.
Works a treat on CLR code (which VB8 outputs by default), alternatively I believe he also has one for the old COM code output as well.

You can't access them directly.

Styx has the ability to load .Net/COM dll's.

Alternatively, you can round trip the MSIL to make it work as a standard dll albeit managed. There is a tool around that someone made that does this automatically, you can do it manually with a bit of work. Research 'Reverse P/Invoke'.

Get the new DarkBasic Professional IDE for only $19.99/~£9.85
