Hi

I made this simple test DLL called "DNP.dll" and put it in

+ Code Snippet

C:\Program Files\Dark Basic Professional\Compiler\plugins-user\

but two things happen:

1) It can't find the .DLL unless I supply the full address, and
2) When I run my

+ Code Snippet

#include "DNP.dll"

sync

StupidNumber = dnpSayNumber()
text 5,5,str$(StupidNumber)

sync

wait key

program, it says "Could not understand command on line 11".

Here is the code I used in the .DLL:

+ Code Snippet

__declspec(dllexport) int dnpSayNumber( void )
{
   return 42;
}

I'm using M$ Visual C++ 2005 Express edition. Here's the steps I follow to compile the DLL:

1) Make new project (Win32 Consol app)
2) Write some noob code
3) Go to Project->Properties
4) Maximize "Configuration Properties" node
5) Click "general" under "Configuration Properties"
6) Under "Project Defaults" I set "Configuration Type" from "Application (.exe)" to "Dynamic Library (.dll)"
7) Hit F7 to compile the project
8) Place .DLL file in the plugins-user folder

Do I need to use VC++6? That would stink.

Please and thanky
