Hi,

Someone sent me a dll file without any sample code and document. I only
know the function name. How can I get the information the signature of the
function in dll?

Thanks

What type of DLL? Plain standard one, or ActiveX one? The C++ debugger would
be helpful for the former type, and the VB IDE for the latter type.

It is plain standard one, like the function in kernal32.dll, user32.dll

dumpbin /exports mydll.dll
is the best you can do
will give you the function names, but not the signatures.
AFAIK, there isn't any way to get the signatures unless you are well versed
in machine code / assembly language. But not for definite. Someone may know a
trick.
