Hi everyone,

I'm trying to call a DLL that I created using Microsoft Visual C++ 6.0
in an win32 Console
Application.The DLL contains the function(Getarray) I'd like to call
in the win32 Console
Application.I put the DLL into C:\windows\system32. As I got the error
message:
error C2065: 'Getarray' : undeclared identifier.... I put the DLL into
the directory where the executable for the win32 Console
application was to be created.But I still have the same error
message.By creating the
DLL I included in the project a .def file in order to export the DLL.I
also
specified the .lib file under Project Settings->Link->Object/Library-
Module and I can't understand why
the function can't be found.....

Thanks

The DLL functions must be declared with a header file in your exe project,
something like
#include "dllname.h"

This declares the functions to the compiler. (The compiler does not use the
..lib or .dll files.)
