Hi,

I have dll which is written in vc6.0
Now I am writing a exe in C++/CLI and want to use this dll.

So I first opened the VC6 dll in Visual Studio 2005 and the conversion was
done. Now I added a windows form project to the solution and made this as
the active project.

Can someone please tell me how can I call a function from dll in my windows
form project. I first tried including the dll header file in my application
but it gave an error that "fatal error C1083:Cannot open include file"

I have included the path of dll project in Additional Include Directories
under resources for the windows form project.

Any idea on how this can be achieved?

Thanks,
-Asfar

Hi Asfar!

This is the correct way to go.

but it gave an error that "fatal error C1083:Cannot open include file"

Maybe you should adjust your path-settings or put the include-file in an
apropriate place...

I have included the path of dll project in Additional Include Directories
under resources for the windows form project.

Then this error should not occur...

I don't see anyother place where there is an include file option. Any ideas?

Sorry I was adding the it against resources and not for c/c++ and that
solved the problem
