If the "Windows DLL" is on the server, yes, your web application can
call it. If the DLL is written in unmanaged code, though, it must be
wrapped in a so-called interop DLL. There is a lot of documentation
available online demonstrating how to do that.

Greetings,

If you mean a regular native DLL, then you can call the exported functions from managed code
using PInvoke interop.
Please consult the MSDN doc's for details on how to interop with unmanaged code.
