If someone can write a DLL in VB and send it to me I'll try loading it in and try and find out how things work with them. Could do with one simple function in there that does something like showing a message box when it's called.

@Zircher: ahh oki, that would explain a few things. i've never really used pascal in-depth; my mom did about 30years ago (which yeah was before it was born ) but Turbo C definately ain't older than me.

that said, someone using VC++ it doesn't look that difficult to actually program a parser function so you could access them directly like the dll functions do.

time consuming but not particularly difficult.

Mike download our plugin by clicking my logo below,
the the vb .net dll is named DBP_NETLIB.DLL

normally that dll goes in the game exe dir, and the dll named DBP_NETLIB_CPP.DLL goes in plugins-user directory

I will more than gladly work on this with you and provide anything I can (vb.net source, testing, etc etc) to get this working - I am sure others like Exeat and Empty will help in the endeavor as well

THANKS!

I forwarded your email to Exeat, so he can provide you with the info you need regarding how we implement vb.net dll's in DBP via a C++ wrapper. In the interim there is some prevalent info in the thread link below - skim down the first page until the forum user The One Ring asks Exeat about .net dll implementation. Exeat provided an explanation with C++ code examples.

A whole different method will have to be used for implementing VB.NET DLL's then the one I described in that link (for reasons I emailed you about CattleRustler) so I'm not sure if it will be all that useful.

I'll email Mike in a moment on how to get VB6 DLL's working and then if that goes well, we'll try and tackle VB.NET (which is a whole different method).
