I'm trying to create a basic DLL in .NET and use a function from it in Centura. I created the DLL, registered it using regasm.exe (not sure if necessary as .NET claims it does it automatically), and created an .APL file for it. I then included the APL file as a Library in my Centura application. When I try to use the function from the DLL, however, it gives me the following error:

"Unrecoverable Error: This External Function can't be found. Check the DLL and Ordinal Number."

Is Centura unable to read DLL files created in .NET even when it was intentionally created as a COM DLL? Any help is appreciated.
 
Strange.

I continued messing around and decided to create a Visual C++ DLL. Using the same function, naming conventions, and implementation in Centura; it works!

Not exactly sure why a VB dll wouldn't work but a C++ one would, but my problem is solved.
