Hi,
I actually want to create a simple dll and function for use in a Powerbuilder and a Delphi application. I can create the dll file no problem, but the function is in a class (don't know any other way of creating a function) and I am having problems referencing the function.

Any help would be appreciated.

Derek.

.NET is an object oriented framework. This means that every function that is ever created within .NET will ultimately reside within a class. There's no way around this. Even some of the languages that appear to allow functions outside of classes ultimately place "pseudo-classes" around the functions at compile-time. So yes, a function in .NET has to be in a class.

I think better option would be to post your question on Powerbuilder or delphi forum, where a powerbuilder or delphi developer could answer your question more easily.

ok but how would I go about creating a dll file for use in any other development environment? Do you know if it has to be in a class? Thanks for the reply btw.
