Regsvr32[^] is a tool for registering native dlls with COM[^]

>> I made this dll file in c# 2010 from some classes.
If this is the case, all you need is to add a reference to your dll[^] from your project.

Looks like you haven't properly exported the entry point for the dll. See: http://support.microsoft.com/kb/249873[^]

Since you don't have the source code for the dll, try contacting the author of the library.

Addition:
To export functions from C# dll, have a look at the following articles:
- How to Automate Exporting .NET Function to Unmanaged Programs[^]
- Simple Method of DLL Export without C++/CLI[^]

Ok, in your question you said that you didn't know what language was used.

So if I understand correctly, you would like to export some functionality from your C# dll to an unmanaged caller. See the updated answer.
