I've been doing all of my development using C# in Visual Studio, first 2010 and now 2012. I need to create a DLL using C language for the project I'm working on. Only when I do File | New Project, I can't find an option for creating a DLL using C.
How do you do this?
Navigate to the folder containing the DLL file you want to open. Right-click the folder and click Open with Visual Studio. Expand the folder in the Solution Explorer window to the right. Double-click the DLL file you want to open.
Use the "Assembly Explorer" to browse the DLL file. DLL files store information as "Nodes" and "Subnodes," which you can explore in a decompiler. By clicking on one node, you may see all of the subnodes contained within it. Double-click on the node to see the code contained within it.
It's under File / New / Project / Templates / Visual C++ / Win32 / Win32 Project. Follow the wizard, and you'll be offered "DLL" on the second page.
(This is with Visual Studio 2012 - some of the wording may differ in other versions.)
