Would anyone be kind enough to tell me if DBP uses managed C++ or unmanaged C++ for DLLs. Thanks!

It's unmanaged, unless you are using someone's plug-in that uses the CLR (eg, Styx, and there may be others)

They just wrote it in unmanaged C++ Apart from strings and windows, it's not hugely different...

Hey, sorry to bump this, but does anyone know if DBP supports C# COM DLLs?

Not natively, as COM DLLs are accessed through an object of the type they expose, which requires a pointer to the interface and DBPro cannot do that at all.

Yep, but I sorted it out. I just make an unmanaged C++ DLL that calls the COM DLL. Not sure if it will work, though.

Yes, it will work, but there's an (apparently) easier way.

Thank you SO much!! I almost resorted to my other idea for this, but thankfully, I can do this.

EDIT: When I have anything other than a void, and I return a value, it gives me an error with DLL_Tool. Here's my little error log thing:


Microsoft (R) .NET Framework IL Assembler. Version 2.0.50727.1433
Copyright (c) Microsoft Corporation. All rights reserved.
Assembling 'C:\DOCUME~1\ZANEKA~1\LOCALS~1\Temp\_dll.il' to DLL --> 'C:\Documents and Settings\Zane Kaminski\My Documents\MySQL DLL\DLL\bin\Release\UnmanagedDLL.dll'
Source file is ANSI


***** FAILURE *****


What should I do?
