Hello everyone! :D
OK, how can I include a COM DLL in a C# program without copying it to the program's folder? I want to use the DLL from the Windows\System32 directory. The DLL is shdocvw.dll. How can I do this? Thanks! ;)

use the DLLImport function:

[DllImport("User32.dll")]
public static extern int MessageBox(int h, string m, string c, int type);


this example shows importing user32.dll and declaring a function to use within that dll (extern is the important keyword here)

Hope this helps,
Chi

Yeah, but mine is a .NET DLL, not just a regular COM one... :P
Thanks! ;)

Ohh wait! I said it wrong... It was a COM DLL, but I need to use it as I'm using it now so I have the WebBrowser control in my toolbox... :P
Thanks! ;)
