    Lightbulb Dll Export in C++

    Hello,

    I've encountered a strange behavior in __declspec(dllexport) in my project.
    I have a C++ project that uses classes, namespaces, try-catches and more cpp elements.
    When exporting any dummy function in this DLL, no other C project will be able to load it with LoadLibrary (Getting error 'module not found').

    Is it possible to load dynamically C++ dlls through C projects?
    These projects are Windows Mobile projects, but they should behave the same as on regular PC win32.

    I'm stuck on it and any help will be appreciated.

    Thank you,
    Emil.

    If you want to use them in C projects, you still, IIRC, need to make them extern "C", otherwise you will get the name mangling that C++ does to allow overloaded functions.

    I export just one function: extern "C" __declpesc(dllexport) int test();
    and I can't even get to GetProcAddress... LoadLibrary give an error.
    If I comment this function, and I don't have any export, then LoadLibrary works great.
    So it's probably a problem with the settings of the projects or C-C++ compatibility.

    Well, what does GetLastError say the problem is?
