DLL's GetProcAddress() cont'd to nietod
OK Thanks for your help but I'm still having problems..
GetProcAddress() is returning NULL, despite my checking
The DLL being put where it should, the DLL having the function, checking spelling etc etc etc
Could it be to do with Name Mangling ?
Or is it because of being 32 bit DLL? (app is 32 bit)

Can you fill me in on the details?
Never mind I found it. (No need to point out that was yesterday)
Here is your original question for others reference.
! want to Dynamically Load a DLL in C++ Builder Ex:
HINSTANCE hndl;
FARPROC Func;
hndl = LoadLibrary("c:\\wwwroot\\
Func = (FARPROC) GetProcAddress(hndl,"Passe
if(Func(Name.c_str(),Passw
else {FreeLibrary(hndl); return 0;}
I'm getting an error message saying "Too Many Arguments" to the DLL function even though the number
of arguments is correct
Regards Matlock.
Yes, the problem is very likely to be name mangeling.

I guess I must be clucthing at straws afraid I have already declared it as
extern "C" __declspec(dllexport) bool Passed(char *,char *);
and even tried
extern "C" __declspec(dllexport) bool PASSED(char *,char *);
and tried to fine PASSED insted , all to no avail

Opps. I forgot something. Builder prefixes the name with an underscore. Look for "_Passed". (MSVC does not do that by the way.)
Now something from the its better to teach a man to cook than to feed him a meal department.
There are a variety of tools available for listing the exported or imported procedures in an EXE or DLL. I use DUMPBIN.EXE which came with MSVC (Also part of MSDN? or SDK?) Borland probably has a similar tool if you don't have it. Use it to list the exports in the DLL. (That's how I found out about the underscore.)

Thankyou It now works brilliantly!
Yes it was the underscore.
OK I appreciate the advice on looking at the contents first
Haven't got the tools yet but looking through notepad I found
that the DLL had been created without the function, re-compiled and there it was. Don't know why, not worried.
Thanks for all your Help
