Using the "Passing data types to DLL" example...

[kmschwem]

I'm using this example:
http://zone.ni.com/devzone/explprog.nsf/webmain/9E21592A5F39238C862569880064D694?opendocument&node=DZ52048_US
the problem is that it includes a bunch of headers that I don't have like ansi_c.h. I looked around and these seem to be related to a product called Labwindows/CVI I don't know what this is or what it does. I'm trying to complile the DLL according the the instructions at:
http://zone.ni.com/devzone/devzone.nsf/webcategories/E2A99E7E10D5725D862567AC004F0A53?opendocument&node=DZ52048_US

What is it you want to do? LabVIEW can access dlls created in LabVIEW and in any other language like VC++ or CVI (C for Virtual Instruments--it is NI's C compiler). LabVIEW can also create dlls for other languages provided you have the application builder. It should be very clear which of the articles in the second link you should follow.

If you want to access a dll in LabVIEW, there is a shipping document entitled "Using External Code in LabVIEW". In LabVIEW 6.1, goto help >> search the LabVIEW bookshelf >> Using external code in LabVIEW.
