what exactly isnt working?
maybe Dave (Exeat) can help, he wrote the c++ wrapper for my dbp_netlib plugin

I no longer use that method to make .net plugins - converters are way less hassle, especially ZK's awesome tool

the problem with my dll itself, is that the function is not reconized by DBP.
i tryed to download the source examples from the topic i sad above, but they are broken, dead, it gives a error " arquive not found in server"
The Steps i followed to create the DLL:
VB .NET -> New Class Library Project
Created the Namespace, the Class and a simple add Function as method.
Then in C++ -> New Class Library Project, #using bla bla, then created the string table, but for some reason it inst working, puted both in plugin folder in dbp install dir.

I tried to make a dll using visual studio 2005 and for some reason it didn't recognize any of my functions. I only put in two because I wanted to make sure I was below the limitations of the trial version.

Are there any special steps I need to take? This is the first time I've tried creating a dll to be used with DBP.

Sorry for the double post above... No, I was trying to use VB.NET, and honestly I'm not sure where to start.

if you use vb.net then you make your dll like you would for any .net app to use, but then theres a whole c++ project you'll need to make to wrap each function and all other sorts of horsesh*t that I don't know about. There's info on these forums if you search for it, but my advice to you would be to spring for the 25$ and get ZK's dll converter. It builds the string tables and recompiles IL to the format needed by dbp for plugins with a few clicks. The only diff is that you need to code everything in the vb.net dll code as "Shared", thats it.

If you code in vb.net you may want to know that Apexnow has written a wrapper for the DGDK which lets you code your games straight away in vb.net or c#, using any of the available ide's, even the free ones like sharpdev and the express versions from ms. That product pricing should be inline with the dgdk itself and is being sanctioned and sold by TGC. If you go that route you wont need any conversions for you dll's to plugins, they can be just dll's in the vb.net project assembly - everything will compile to pure .net assemblies as normal c#/vb.net projects do already, only the dgdk wrapper piece uses com-interop.

might be worth looking into either of these solutions
