Ed,
I use the MS Visual C++ (vers 5 and 6) to wite C dll's and CINS for
LabVIEW - I have never actually had to write any dll's that were C++ flavor.
So basically your C skills should be sufficient. The application notes on
NI's website are more than adequate for learning to write dll's and CINS for
LabVIEW.
Good Luck.
Chris
