Vakkaas,

I don't believe that this is possible. From what I know, I think that
you want a dll that exports functions, which .NET does not support.
However, if PowerBuilder can attach to COM objects, then you can export your
assemblies to COM, and then access them that way.

Hope this helps.

Hi,

Thanks for your reply. Actually powerbuilder allows to call WIN32 API's. I
want to know is there a way that I can create a dll like win32 api dll's?
