DLL Invokation using an Application.

[rajeshckk]

I am a newbie to this dll invokation.

I have a dll called abc.dll and this has three methods in it (a,b,c)

when i need to write an console app to invoke the dll, what methods should i follow.

In the header file

#import "abc.dll"

int main()

{

CoInitialize(NULL);

p = CreateInstance();

p->a();

p->b();

p->c();

Release();

CoUninitialize();

}

If could get a code sample that would be really great and point me to the reference as to which files i should be looking at to get the instantiation of the com object.

Thanks,

Rajesh.

#import doesnt work, you have to use direct Win32 API commands. More info aon creating and using DLL's here
