Hi. Does anyone know if I can see all functions name in a DLL without having the source code or the header file.
Thanx

There are some tools that can show you function names for example PE Explorer http://www.heaventools.com/ but there is stil problem with arguments and their types.

Thanx a lot. Looks like a useful program. I managed to get the name of the function, but I can't see the arguments etc. It says sth about "information not available". Any ideas?

Depending on a calling convention of these exported functions, U can know a size of all its arguments.
e.g. fun@12 means all arguments has the common size == 12 bytes.
Code disassembling helps here (IDA,...). But even in that case, sometimes U have to have a piece of code (in your case, some binary code using this library) calling the function, U are interested in, to get things completely right.
