can you be more specific? why do you want to write a dll instead of coding straight mql4?

making a dll in mt4 is not for the beginner. you better ask want you want to accomplish and there is probably a better and easier way to do it.

if you want to stick to a dll, have you made your .def file as part of your solution?

using System;
using System.Collections.Generic;
using System.Linq;
using System.Text;
using System.Threading.Tasks;
using RGiesecke.DllExport;
using System.Runtime.InteropServices;


namespace ClassLibrary1
{
public class Class1
{
[DllExport("add", CallingConvention = CallingConvention.StdCall)]
public static int add(int n1, int n2)
{
return (n1 + n2);
}
}
}

this is my c# program and i made dll of this program and used unmanagedExports library in it

now
//+------------------------------------------------------------------+
//| UnmanagedExportsDLLExample1.mq5 |
//| Copyright 2010, Investeo.pl |
//| http:/Investeo.pl |
//+------------------------------------------------------------------+
#import "ClassLibrary1.dll"
//#import "http:/Investeo.pl"
double add(int n1,int n2);

int init()
{
}
void start()
{ Print("add function call",(add(21,34)));}

this is my ea where i am using that dll file but when i am running this in to client terminal the error is"cant load library add() funtion."

if all you want to do is add two integer, you better do it in mql4. people who use dll are mostly EA vendors who want to protect their code from copying.

so, if you can't be more specific about what you can't do in mql4 that requires you to write a dll, i'm going to drop the ball.

there is no easy way from c# to mt4, use c++ if you can. otherwise for your error message, have you loaded the required libraries?

in mt4, have you allowed dll import? (toolsptions:expert - allow dll import). have you put your dll in the library folder of the expert folder?
