Look What the Press is Saying about Visual DLL

"This slick product guided us through a very impressive DLL creation process during our testing. Simply Solutions’ Visual DLL does the near-impossible, turning Visual Basic code into a true DLL, creating classes of applications previously beyond Visual Basic’s reach." -- Windows Sources, July 1995.


"It’s not easy to work up enthusiasm for opening up another day’s load of news releases. But finding a gem like Visual DLL keeps us at it. Creating a DLL with Visual DLL is a surprisingly simple process. Sure enough, Visual DLL lives up to its billing. You can create DLL’s callable from any language. It’s easy, fun and fast!" -- Visual Basic Tech Journal, June 1995


"Until now, if you wanted to create a DLL, there was only one option: Learn another language. But now, there’s another option: Simply Solutions’ Visual DLL. You can use Visual DLL to create specialized DLL’s, which opens up lots of capabilities. You can write your own control panel applet’s, create add-in’s for File Manager and provide support for Windows API callback functions. I fired up Visual DLL and quickly felt like the sorcerer’s apprentice running wild with a magic broom. Creating DLL’s with this product is easy." -- Visual Basic Tech Journal, March 1996


"Visual Basic can’t create DLL’s that export procedures. Simply Solutions’ Visual DLL solved that problem. The conversion process is quick and painless, and it results in a remarkably robust application. The DLL transformation process took a few minutes." -- Windows Sources, August 1995.


"The Techie awards honor outstanding innovation, significance and usefulness in Visual Basic add-ons. This is the highest award we offer. We’ve told enough people about Visual DLL to have noticed a predictable reaction cycle. First they think it’s a novelty, an interesting but not-too-useful hack. Then they think of one or two places they’d like to use it. Then they realize that Visual DLL could turn everything they think they know about Visual Basic’s role in software development topsy-turvy. Now Visual Basic programmers can create reusable software components for C++ and Delphi programmers to use -- quickly, easily and reliably. And without the extra overhead and complexity of Visual Basic 4.0’s OLE-based reusability technology." -- Visual Basic Tech Journal, December 1995


"Visual DLL is a fascinating product that lets you place Visual Basic code inside a DLL. Moreover, it allows you to write callback functions, an ability ordinarily given only to VBX’s. Using Visual DLL means you can now write DLL modules that can be called directly from any Windows language that can make a call to a DLL. This opens up the market for your code to more than the already-sizable army of VB programmers. it means that you won’t need to let C++ bigots kick sand in your face anymore, and the new waves of Delphi programmers will also be able to use your code without modification. Visual DLL works as advertised. It’s compatible with VB4 and gives you access to whole vistas that you may never have thought possible as a lowly Visual Basic programmer." -- PC Techniques, February / March 1996.
