RE: Biometric scanner(Finger print reader) need help implementing in delphi.

Try this syntax in your Delphi DLL:

function MyFunction(X, Y: Real): Real; cdecl;

It's a dynamic link... .lib file not required.  I appreciate the input, but I'm actually looking for the correct syntax of the extern "C" directive so I can declare the DLL functions in C and link them in dynamically.

  Yet you'll need a LIB file in C. It doesn't matter whether the names from
  the DLL are mangled or not - if you want to link to it statically you need
  the LIB file.

  Try to find the information about the linker of MS. As far as I remember it
  was able to produce a LIB file from a DLL. Borland provides a tool named
  IMPLIB, but I do not know whether is also "speaks" MS's LIB-dialect.

  Cheers,
