is there any way to findout function argument details information from a DLL?

I just have dll. I do not have any other documentation for that dll. I want to call this dll but I don't have argument details or h file.

I know using silurian dll software I can get function names but it does not give me function arguments and argument data types.
Thanks.

By default, a DLL only embeds information about the function name and the total size of the parameter list. The only way to find out about the actual paramaters would be to use a header file or see if some type library is embedded in the DLL. Or just contact the author of the DLL. That would probably be the easiest way to go.

Sheetal,

There is a way for you to get the names of the functions using dependency walker from MS Dependency Walker however, this won't tell you the arguments unfortunately.
