Unable to find an entry point

[pratibha14]

hi,
i made a dll named rtbdts.dll and call it from vb.net through dllimport

<DllImport("C:\misc\rtbdll\rtbdts.dll")>
Public Shared Function Init() As String
End Function

But it returns the following error
"Unable to find an entry point named 'Init' in DLL 'C:\misc\rtbdll\rtbdts.dll'."

Any solution?
Thanks in advance

Is DLLImport designed for COM object DLLs? the DLLs .Net creates don't have 'start' points, so far as I know. Is there any reason you can't set up a reference to the DLL using the reference browser?

Is rtbdts.dll something that you wrote?

You usually get this error when the calling convention within the DLL methods wasn't set to stdcall.
