inpout32.dll

[vertigo]

Hello

I want to write something to paraller port. I use windows XP and .NET, but
my program is Win32 Application. First of all i could not find any sources
of inpout32 library, i only found inpout32.dll, but when in
Project/Properties/Linker/Input/AdditionalDependencies i add inpout32.dll
durring linking i receive:
Linking...
inpout32.dll : fatal error LNK1136: invalid or corrupt file
Results

(when i give incorrect file name i receive error that non exsting file -
so linker finds library inpout32.dll but something wrong is with that
library).

Does anybody tried that ?
What can i do to get it working ?

Thanx
Michal

Yes, since a DLL is not a LIB file.

If you only have a DLL you will have to end up using LoadLibrary to
load the DLL, and then GetProcAddress to retrieve a pointer to the
function that you want to call.
