Please some one show me a way.I am kinda new to this.

C language API. The C language Application Programmer's Interface (API) allows application programs to submit faxes to the Zetafax server for sending, and to control and monitor their progress as required. A simple function call is provided to submit an ASCII text file in a given format.
An application program interface (API) is code that allows two software programs to communicate with each other. An API defines the correct way for a developer to request services from an operating system (OS) or other application, and expose data within different contexts and across multiple channels.
For many C++ developers, API Design probably makes number 3 or 4 on their priority list. Majority of developers flock to C++ for the raw power and control it provides. Consequently, performance and optimization is what occupies the thoughts of these devs eighty percent of the time.
Normally yes. Generally: If source is to be available, use header only (if templates) or h +cpp. If no source, the best is DLL. Static libraries - you have to build for many compilers and one has to carry on your lib everywhere and link to it.

It may not be the funniest reading, and certainly not the only reading to do on the subject, but while designing your class library (your API), do check in with the Design Guidelines for Developing Class Libraries every now and then, it's a good idea to have a design that corresponds a bit with the .NET Framework iteself.

Make your methods you want to expose to the outside world public.
