Answer 1

You could follow the steps below to add .h and dll.

1. Add .h: Properties -> C/C++ -> General -> Additional Include Directories

2. Add dll: select Properties->Build Events->Post-Build Event->Command Line and input copy $(TargetPath) $(TargetDir)..\..\someFolder\myoutput.dll regasm $(TargetPath)

If you have the lib, you could refer to the steps below:

Add lib: Properties->Linker->General->Additional Library Directories

    `Properties->Linker->Input->Additional Dependencies`

If you don’t have the lib, you could link explicitly to a DLL.

• Call LoadLibraryEx or a similar function to load the DLL and obtain a module handle.
• Call GetProcAddress to obtain a function pointer to each exported function that the application calls. Because applications call the DLL functions through a pointer, the compiler doesn't generate external references, so there's no need to link with an import library. However, you must have a typedef or using statement that defines the call signature of the exported functions that you call.
• Call FreeLibrary when done with the DLL.
