Similar to coryr (see this question), I am referencing a dll within a C# project. The DLL often changes but I the C# project does not recognize this. Unlike coryr, the DLL is a VB6 ActiveX DLL. Any suggestions for how to reload the reference other than removing and adding it? ...
I have a native C dll that exports one function besides DllEntryPoint, FuncX. I'm trying to find out how FuncX communicates with it's caller, because it has a void return type and no parameters. When I call it from a C# harness, I get an AccessViolationException - Attempted to read or write protected memory. I have a hunch that its cl...

I want to have a single Visual Studio project that builds a DLL file and an import library (.lib) file. (An import library is a statically-linked library that takes care of loading that DLL file in other projects that use it).

I have a web application which from time to time get IE in a hung state, where IE uses 100% of the CPU. The only way out is to terminate the IE process. When I look at the stack trace of the thread which is hung in iexplore.exe, I see that the stack traverses mshtmled.dll. I am used to see mshtml.dll in those stack traces, but not mshtm...
Hi there. Im having a problem with a loop inside a C++ dll being called from VB. I want this loop to update a global variable, but when I call the function the variable does not update the first time round, but does so every subsequent time. This is how I am trying to update the variable. else { ::nScore = nHighest; if (nScor...
Anybody know how to determine what DLL's a binary depends on using programmatic methods? To be clear, I am not trying to determine the DLL dependencies of the running exec, but of any arbitrary exec (that may be missing a required DLL). I'm looking for a solution to implement in a C/C++ application. This is something that needs to be ...

When I build the debug version and copy+paste the produced DLL into the calling application's path, I get an error message that there are no symbols and that the binary wasn't built by the ...
I need a command line tool to dump standard Windows DLL version info so I can process it by means of a bash script (Cygwin). As a Java developer I am not very used to Microsoft development tools (though I have a little bit of experience with Microsoft Visual Embedded C++ 4.0 and Microsoft Visual Basic 6.0). The appropriate tool seems t...
The Setup: I have a DLL that uses a ConnectionString to connect to a SQL database. When I add the DLL to my website i have to add the connectionstring into my web.config in order for my DLL to function properly (this is by design). Once I add it into the web.config then everything works fine (as expected). The Problem: The problem b...
Hello World! :-) I have an interesting challenge that I'm wondering if anyone here can give me some direction. Currently I have some code that is being generated dynamically. Another words a C# .cs file is created dynamically by this program, and the intention is to include this C# file in a project where you want to use it. The chal...
I have a DLL file that has some helpful functions I want to call in my application. Unfortunately I don't have the documentation for it any longer. Is there any way I can discover what are the functions exported by the DLL and their method signature? Maybe there's a utility that lists the functions and their arguments. Know of any? ...
I just came out of a design meeting and had a question posed to me about where I got one of my ideas about how to structure some .dlls of a project we are building. To be honest I have no idea where this "idea" came from it just seemed like natural knowledge to me. However it would useful if I could back up these opinions with some docum...
I have a college assignment due quite soon, and I need to be able to call a C++ dll that takes a long time (possibly infinte, it relies on user input)to execute. Im calling this through VB. My VB GUI freezes up when this happens, and I would like to keep the GUI responsive, so that the user can stop this possibly infinte loop. Can anyo...

Their code is not included in my project, because it's open source and not my code. I can make debug ve...
