Convert EXE to DLL?????

[delali]

I wanted to know if anyone had a quick way to convert a EXE to a DLL program. I have routines that I want to call in VB but the current code is in a executable format. How would I go about changing it. I am not sure whether to use the DLL app wizzard or a simple DLL project in order to make the conversion.

Hi,
Have a dll with only one exported which will take the exe name which you want to launch .
Inside the function use the win32 API ShellExecute(..).
Hope U know how to create a DLL.
Thanks

I am sorry but I am a summer intern and very new to DLL's this would be my first time using them, so I am not sure where exactly I need to put what you mentioned. Do you have any sample code?

Also do I create a DLL from the app wizard, or just a simple dll console?

Sorry if this seems too remedial...

Hi,
If you use VC++6.0 then create a win32 dynamic link library,
in that expose a function i.e export a function x(..) then U can call that function from your exe.
If you want the source code ,send your email id I will send it across to you.
