dll for VC++ 6 client
I am .Net developer and new to C++ world. I am suppose to develop a dll which will be used by Client written in VC++ 6.0
I am completely confused about which way to go.
What type of project ?
What IDE to use [VS.net or VC++ 6 IDE] ?
Can you guys please guide me on this? Any pointers will be appreciated.
Thanks

First question...Why are you using VC++ 6.0. It is obsolete (dead for over 4 years), and NOT compliant with the C++ standard [this means that the program you write will almost certainly NOT be a valid C++ program].

In theory, there is no difference between theory and practice; in practice there is.

DLL's are written so that they can be used by any language capable of calling exported DLL functions, and for the most part, any Windows OS (32-bit DLL's for 32-bit Windows, 64-bit DLL's for 64-bit OS).
Look at how the Windows system DLL's work -- Visual C++ 6.0, 7.0, 8.0, 9.0 and beyond, and any old version of Visual C++ before 6.0 calls the system DLL functions quite fine. Not only that, VB, Delphi, C#, and any other language calls the Windows system DLL's quite fine also.
What problems are you having writing the DLL? All you need to do is use a 'C' interface when exporting the functions.

Paul McKenzie
