Hi santosh,

It sounds to me that you are mistaking CINs (Code Interface Node) with DLLs (Dynamic-Link Library). You mention that you want to create a DLL in Microsoft Visual C++, but the errors you are getting are related to CINs.

Don't worry! Here are my favorite links to getting started creating and using DLLs with Microsoft Visual C++ and LabVIEW:

How to Build a DLL with Visual C++

Creating and Calling LabVIEW DLLs with Various Data Types from Microsoft Visual C++

I hope that this helps you to get on the right path.

Have fun!
