    Making dll's in C???

    I have coded a program in C for displaying bitmap images and i wish to design the GUI for it in VB. Basically i need that File open dialogue that would allow the user to pick the bmp from anywhere on the harddisk. I know that I can port my code to VB by making a dll, but have no clue how to do it. Can anyone help, any links etc would be appreciated...
    thanks.

    VC++?

    if so, starting a dll project is easy. There's a choice for it in the new project dialog (Win32 Dynamic-Link Library). Then all exported (that you want to access outside the dll) are declared as follows:

    extern "C" __declspec(dllexport) returntype FuncName(ParamType param)
    {
    return blah;
    }
