there are no dll files ,only have header files and static libraries.

You can build a dll using lib and export functions from that lib. But in C# you can access the dll functions or COM objects. One note for dll's and C# DLL should be compiled for same platform as target PC, or you should specify fixed platform in C# app settings and build DLL for it.

Create dll project in Visual Studio add your h file, create c or cpp file, make functions decalrations with exports and call in there your functions in h file, link with your lib file and build.
