The application build part of it is included in the Professional Edition of LabVIEW. Which edition do you have? If it's the Base or Full, you won't have it (see here), though you can purchase it separately.

i have a labview profissional developement system 8.2.1!i thinks that is is possible make a dll but i dont find this Tools»Build Application or Shared Library (DLL)

i see this in this site: http://zone.ni.com/devzone/cda/tut/p/id/3063

OK. Needed to check the edition first. That link doesn't apply to LabVIEW 8+. In LabVIEW 8 you need to create a project in order to build an executable. Check the documentation for LabVIEW 8. You first create a project and place your VIs in it, and then create a build target. It's all in the documentation.

thanks for all repply, and attention. but my problem is that i dont have the documentation wihe me because i´m start to work with labviw in my university.

if you can find some documentation you can send me!?

Thanks a lot

The documentation should have been installed with LabVIEW: "Help -> Search the LabVIEW Help".

You can also find it on this web site. I'm sure you're more than capable of performing a search now that you're in college.

To build a shared DLL with labview you need Application Builder.
Application Builder is only included as a standard item with the
Professional version of Labview. National Instruments sells
Application Builder as an add-on for use with either the Basic or Full
version of Labview. The cost is US$1,000.00. Instead of using a
shared DLL to communicate with Labview from an external application I
suggest you use Activex. Activex is included as a standard item with
the Student, Basic, and Full versions of Labview.

Two suggestions

Double check and make sure you have the Professional Development
version of Labview. Do this by starting Labview ant then clicking on
"Help" and "About Labview" The "About Screen" will tell you what
version of Labview you have installed on your computer. If the "About
Screen" says you have the Professional Development version of Labview
installed on your computer and you don't see "Application Builder" in
the "Tools" menu then I suggest you talk to your local National
Instruments Sales Representative to get help.
