Importing into an Application

The new home for Visual Studio documentation is Visual Studio 2017 Documentation on docs.microsoft.com.

The latest version of this topic can be found at Importing into an Application.

You can import functions into an application using two methods:

• Use the keywords __declspec(dllimport) in a function definition in the main application

• Use a module definition (.def) file along with __declspec(dllimport)

What do you want to do?

• Import into an Application Using __declspec(dllimport)

• Import Function Calls Using __declspec(dllimport)

• Import Data Using __declspec(dllimport)

• Import Using DEF Files
