How your dll contains data.

You need to refer the dll from Project -----> reference

No . . no . . no . . !!!!!
If you try to edit or make some *dll file then you have a wrong choise. I'm making a program for system control and i usaly don't use *dll because VB isn't for Dll. But you have to try. I will help you if I can.Be sure -> I'm making a new OS.

Hi,

I am Vijay. I wish u success for ur effort on creating a new OS. but to keep the code in a safe way is thr any other way in vb than the dlls. 'coz i want to make them through dlls, as i want to share the code across applications. ocx will not help me as i am working with concepts / ideas not with controls.

Vace, please stop this nonsense. This thread is not about creating a DLL, in VB or otherwise. It is about accessing information concerning what is in an existing DLL.

cvraghavan1979, do you know what version of VB the DLL was created with? Or more importantly, was it an "old-style" VB (up to VB6) or one of the .Net-based ones?

This might make a big difference to what you can do. I tried searching Google for a few related words such as "DLL name examine" and saw a number of entries that sounded as though they might be useful. But most if not all seemed to relate to the .Net platform.

If you don't have the DLL or the source code ,how you are going to access that ?

Has the DLL, doesn't have the source.

Hi,

If you have lost the source code, then, you dont have any option, to get it back.
Compiled .dll, conceals all the source.. only Shared/Public Properties,Func tions,Procedure s, methods are exposed..
You have to Re-Build a New dll,

Hi,

Have A Nice Day!. i want to check whether we have any options to access the content of a dll in readable form, as i am trying to perform functions to access the procedures & functions used in some of the projects that i got through my friends.
