Hi Guys,

Recently I got a dll file and I wanted to refer the functions in
this dll, but I didn't know which programming language was used to
generate this file. Is there any way to get these function
declarations, thanks.

You need to ask in the newsgroup for your OS, those pesky dynamic
libraries are very much platform-specific.

Yes, but regardless of the platform, he's going to need a header
file for the C++ compiler, and some documentation for the
programmer, in order to do anything. Those requirements are
pretty much platform-independent. (On the other hand, they are
the same regardless of the language, at least if you modify
"header file" to whatever the language uses, so while not
platform-specific, the question is still not C++ specific
either:-).)
