Create .lsb file with Microsoft Visual C++ 5.0 Express

[megahall]

The National Instruments has a nice tutorial on how to create a .lsb file using Microsoft Visual C++ 5.0 "not Express" in a topic titled "How to build a CIN code resource (.lsb file)" for Win32 platforms.  This step by step tutorial tells how to produce the project and set the Project Settings.  I attempted to follow those instructions using Microsoft Visual C++ 5 Express.  The project settings, is under Project preferences in the Express version and does not allow all of the options that MS VC++ 5.0 does.  Has anyone produced a .lsb file using the MS Visual C++ Express ?  If so do you have the step by step instructions similar to "How to build a CIN code resource (.lsb file)" ?

Thank You

Hey Megahall,

Thank you for National Instruments.  I have been trying to locate some documentation that may help you out, but so far I have turned up nothing.  I do have a couple of questions for you.

1)  Is there any reason you have chosen to build a lsb file, and use the CIN node in LabVIEW?  It may be easier to create a dll, and use the Call Library Function node.

2) What version of Microsoft Visual Studio are you using?

3) I want to clarify that you are using "Microsoft Visual C++ 5.0 Express."  I have not been able to locate much information at all on this version of MVC++.

I look forward to hearing back from you.

Regards,
