[Openroad-users] Registering VB 2005 DLLs for use in an OpenROAD4.1 application

[Fabian Anderson]

My advice is:-

 

Drop VB as a language!  You can do much more in Visual Studio 2005 with
C/C++.

 

Other pointers:-

 

Get a GUID that is not shared with other DLLs.  

Use the "COM Visible" setting

Make a DllMain (even if it does nothing)

 

NB:  What you needed in VS6.0 is no longer relevant as it is a different
compiler.

Subject: [Openroad-users] Registering VB 2005 DLLs for use in an
OpenROAD4.1 application

 

My problem is that we have Visual Studio 6.0 code (both VB and C++) that
we want to maintain in a forthcoming release

 

The company standard is to now use the VB, C++ and C# 2005 express
editions

 

Opening a VS6 VB application in VB2005 requires it to be upgraded which
is fine

I've eliminated all the compiler warnings/errors by removing redundant
code  :-)

 

However I am unable to register the resulting DLL using regsvr32

 

I keep getting

 

'fintechnix.dll was loaded, but the DllRegisterServer entry point was
not found. This file can not be registered'

 

and the OpenROAD component that refers to this DLL fails to compile.

 

Regasm is not the answer as its for .NET applications

 

The old code never had any 'main()' type declaration so I don't even
know where the entry point should be

 

Any advice VERY welcome !
