&gt; Is there a way to reverse engineer .dll file into original source code?<br />
Absolutely not, reverse engineer won't give you back variable names and function names (with exception of exportable functions)<br />

Thank you for the prompt response. So, basically I am stuck? What will be the best I could achieve out of this &quot;black-box&quot;?

The best you can have are exportable function names.<br />
But I am sure will not be hard to build your own DLL. What does it?<br />

Basically, I was pull in in middle of a project that has this small dll file and no one really know how it is related to the rest of other systems. <br />
<br />
I could only get up to the assembly code so far. <br />
<br />
Thank you<br />

Thank you.

Is reverse a Visual C++ .dll file possible?

Microsoft Visual C++ (often abbreviated as MSVC or VC++) is an integrated development environment (IDE) product from Microsoft for the C, C++, and C++/CLI programming languages. It features tools for developing and debugging C++ code, especially code written for the Microsoft Windows API, the DirectX API, and the Microsoft .NET Framework. Many applications require redistributable Visual C++ packages to function correctly and are often installed independently of applications, allowing multiple applications to make use of the package while only having to install it once
