Unload an external dll from memory

[matthias.richwin]

Hello friends,

we are currently trying to resolve the following problem:

A vendor supplied dll has certain problems that can probably only be solved by unloading the dll from memory. This happens naturally when the application quits. But we need to reset it at run time. Is it possible to tell windows and/or labview to remove the dll from memory, so that it is being reloaded with the next call?

Best regards

Matthias

Hello Matthias,

LabView unloads the DLL when the VI that uses this DLL is unloaded. This happens when the application quits or when you close LabView. However you could use the VI-Server technology to dynamically load the VI using the dll. This has the advantage, that you could unlaod the VI after you used it, and so the DLL would be unloaded, too. YOu can check the developer zone on www.ni.com, if you are not familiar with the VI-Server technology.

Hope this helps!
