Anyone have any links to resources on how to create dll's (title)? I'd like to learn, but visual c++ 6 isn't available anymore, an I downloaded express 2005. *feels like a total noob*

EDIT: What I am trying to do is create a command allowing me to create an error box. Here are my files:

Header

And my source file:

Every time I build it it gives me an error for line 9 of the header file: syntax error; char should be preceded by ':'
Also, the Third Party Commands Tutorial should be updated. Visual C++ 6 isn't available anymore.

You can use my DBPPluginSDK for MSVC++ 2005/2008 if you like. It appears to work pretty good in MSVC++ 2008.

Thank you so VERY much Aaron! You have saved me so much confusion (and over 1.5 gigs of C: space!) with your plugin! Not to mention, with your references to c++ tutes, I can learn more. Maybe sometime I could learn how to mess around with DirectX...

DBP doesn't understand namespaces, so you have to link them as either a standard c extern or just with declspec itself.

there's documentation about it and examples in you're dbp documentation

Holy crap, googling "msvc++ 2008" brings up this thread as the first entry!

That's not as bad as you think you said.
