I have a project (eg. xyz) when I build this project in (debug mode) it’s create a .dll (e.g. abc.dll). Source code is written in C language.

This dll (abc.dll) contains some function. I have to use those functions.

Now I have to make a project (that give me executable) in visual studio 2008, using that dll (abc.dll), and write some code that call the function from that dll (abc.dll).

Solution 1

You need to make an application either a windows forms application, WPF application, windows service etc.
Then right click on references and select add reference, then select your dll.

Kind of basic.

Solution 2

You knew enough to add the proper tags (Visual Studio), but you don't have the initiative to explore that very application? Try looking at the menu at the top of the Visual Studio window. All will be revealed.
