Microsoft Visual Studio.Net Win32Console Project DLL

I purchased Microsoft Visual Studio 2003. I am able to build a  Win32 Console Project using Hello World.

Build:1 Succeeded, 0 Failed, 0 Skipped

When I click on Start without debug and run the code the console shows Hello World.

// Win32ConsoleHelloWorld.cpp : Defines the entry point for the console application.
//

#include "stdafx.h"

int _tmain(int argc, _TCHAR* argv[])
{
      printf("Hello World!\n");
      system("PAUSE");
      return 0;
}


When I then place similar Hello World code in a Win32 Console Project  DLL I am unable to test whether it works as there is no console that pops up with Hello World when I click on Start without debug. The DLL builds successfully as indicated by:

Build:1 Succeeded, 0 Failed, 0 Skipped

The code is:

// Win32ConsoleProjectDLL.cpp : Defines the entry point for the DLL application.
//

#include "stdafx.h"
#define DLL_USE
#include <iostream>
using namespace std;

BOOL APIENTRY DllMain( HANDLE hModule,
                       DWORD  ul_reason_for_call,
                       LPVOID lpReserved
                               )
{
          return TRUE;
}

DLLFUNC elf_enp()
{
      printf("Hello World!\n");
      system("PAUSE");
      return 0;
}

How do I establish whether the DLL is working (I am assuming by getting a console to pop up showing Hello World?) Perhaps there is an alternative way to check the DLL is working? I am a newbie and would appreciate some expert help.

Thanks
