Dll 2

[papakula]

Is there any way to see the code of Visual Basic Dll, which some one else has written. If so, how can we view .. As I want to see the functions used in a Dll and the arugments passed in that.

Hi,

This might help you, but I'm not sure to what extent. The VB CD has a tool called depency walker. It basically gives you a treeview of all related components and also a list of functions... play with it and it might solve your problems

Another way is opening a new project -> standard exe -> project -> references -> browse -> add a reference to the dll you want -> press F2 (or view -> object browser) -> in the top left drop down box of the object browser select the DLL -> in the drop down box below the top left fill out * en press the binocular (search) icon.
All the sub, functions and properties will be displayed.

Hi Harmmeijer
I tried to open a new project and tried to
add this dll but its giving message
as cannot add this specified file. I think
its clear for this dll I didnt write , it was
written by someone else.

I think phathi will help you the most, the dll might not work with VB just by adding a reference (like the tapi.dll or the tapi32.dll).
You need to use an Api to use tapi.

Hi,

In order to be able to set a reference to the dll you need to register it: goto the DOS promt and write 'regsvr32 Mydll.dll'

If the following is a stupid question - just ignor it.
Are you sure that you added the dll in 'references' and not as a file?
To add a reference to a dll use the menu: project->references and then 'Browse'
