Hello,

I need to write a DLL app in VB whose functions would be called by another app. VB's DLL's don't support exporting functions. However, I found a site that provides a way to export VB functions. But, I have been having trouble making that compiler-linker to work. I am new to VB but what I understand is this app mimics a generic "link.exe" while applying a generic renamed "link.exe" called "link1.exe" by issuing commands to modify a compiler-linker to enable exporting functions.

If you are also wondering how to export functions in VB, I suggest you download this app and try it to see if it works for you. It didn't work for me, but I am new to VB so I might have missed something. The app is at

If it works, please let me know how you made it work and that means it can be used to export functions. If not, does anybody have any suggestions on how to export functions from VB?

Thank you,
Victor.

VB was never designed to export functions, it's thunks for example (things used for hooking variables) aren't up to exposure to other applications, and internally it's such a mess that trying to force the compiler to do things it wasn't meant to do is inevitably going to be less than perfect at best. Microsoft software's buggy enough!
Simply, use VB.NET!
