i am using run-time linking to import functions from a dll. now if i use GetProcAdress() i can''t just give an argument with the name of the desired function (as it should be) but i must use the depended viewer and copy the exported function name and paste it in vc. it looks something like "?InitDll@@YEKS" instead of plain InitDll then. i think this has got something to do with c++ calling conventions, but i ain''t sure at all. so how do i have to export the function in the dll in to import it with the proper name? thanks ridcully

the name is mangled because of c++ compilation
you have to make the functions names complie as c names
do this by:

__declspec(dllexport) extern "C" int Foo(int Bob);

or something like that
its been a while -- i havent written a dll in months
