Please assist creating & using a basic DLL to pass data to/from MS

[ocnuybear]

I would like to start creating my own DLL in C# or VB.net.

Using example code in Visual Studio:

Code: Select all

Module Module1
    Function Test(a As Integer) As Integer
        Test = a * 10
    End Function
End Module

To be compiled into a DLL, called by MS sending an integer to it and getting the answer integer back into MS.

Can you assist please?

Macro Scheduler requires a Win32 native DLL using the stdcall calling convention.

As far as I was aware C# and VB.Net are managed and therefore not capable of creating native unmanaged DLLs.

However, you might be able to create a COM object which you can instantiate via VBScript code within your macro.

But you'll be better placed asking for help compiling your C# project in a C# forum. C#/VB.Net is way beyond our remit here. We are not going to be able to help you with your C#/VB.Net code here.

I'm still new to programming, and is learning about the differences between managed & unmanaged DLL's.

What other program languages do you perhaps know of which except Python can also create native unmanaged DLL's?

Thank you Marcus
