Surprising!!! if a dll (not COM dll) uses C style functions, can it be used in VB/ASP language??? I think it can only be used in C language.

How can we handle strings?? If we use char* for the strings, will we be able to call/use those from languages that dont support pointers??

We can use any class or object supported by that language in dll within the dll.
The only problem is it should return the datatype or object which is understood by other language.

Exactly, thats the reason why i suggested COM and BSTRs.
But i was asking if theres a way to use c style functions in other languages that dont support pointers.

This is the most apt solution. Go ahead with it. It will give you higher interoperability over different platforms.

MFC DLLs can be used only by MFC programs...
if you want it to be largely used, use the STL classes, or get down to the CRT with COM interface

 For other languages ? The OP wanted to use the DLL in other languages.

I think MFC Regular dll can be used by other applications also if i have used extern "C" to it.
Please tell me if I am wrong.

It can be used only in application, where CString decalaration/defination is known!
