    Hi, Is there a way to get the prototypes of the exported functions of a DLL? Thanks Richard

    dumpbin /exports TEST.DLL > exports.txt dumpbin.exe comes with Visual C++.

        You have to debug a program that make use of that DLL. ;P - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - Memory leaks is the price we pay \0 01234567890123456789012345678901234

          Does anyone know of a tool that will do this for type libraries? I can use OLE View to get the IDL, but I'd like to get hold of the info in C++ and VB formats. I might try to do something like this myself, but why reinvent the wheel, if it has already been done? (actually I'm lazy, but thats besides to point ;-) )

            OLEView itself is a VC Sample.

              I have got a program at work that givs me the prototypes of the functions in a dll. I can't remember the name of the program, but I can have a look at it tomorrow.

                Wasn't there an article in MSJ a year or so back about doing this very thing? Can't remember who wrote it though. The article was on generating symbols from a type library (I think). CHeck out the MSJ website, its probably on there. Stephen Kellett
