My dll is compiling properly.When i am building my dll ,

linker says:

Linking...
Creating library Debug/Projdll.lib and object Debug/Projdll.exp
Debug/Projdll.exe : warning LNK4086: entrypoint "_mainCRTStartup" is
not __stdcall with 12 bytes of arguments; image may not run
LIBCD.lib(crt0.obj) : error LNK2001: unresolved external symbol _main
Debug/Projdll.exe : fatal error LNK1120: 1 unresolved externals
Error executing link.exe.

You seem to have created a wrong project type. You wanted a DLL, but you
are building a console application - an EXE (note how the linker says
it's making Projdll.exe). Start a new project, make sure to select the
right option in the wizard.

With sufficient thrust, pigs fly just fine. However, this is not
necessarily a good idea. It is hard to be sure where they are going to
land, and it could be dangerous sitting under them as they fly
overhead. -- RFC 1925
