Hi,

I have a dll (eg. abc.dll) and this .dll contains some function and is built on C language.

I have two questions to ask -

Q1. How I load that dll in my visual studio project

Q2. How can I call the function from that dll, in my code?

Thanks,
Devesh

Q0. What is your language to implement the usage ?

if (A0 == C++ || A0 == C) {
  A1. You could use the DLLs *.h and *.lib when they are provided too
  if (A1 == YES) {
    A2. Directly
  } else {
    A2. <code>LoadLibrary/GetProcAddress/Calling/FreeLibrary</code>
  }
}
