(About the author)
 
     This code will show you a simple Dll and how to use one. It demonstrates what is and isnt visible to an end user when referencing a dll. Just input a first and last name, and the dll will format it into ProperCase and return it to the calling project. First you will need to open the ProperCaseName.vbp file and Make the dll. Then open the DllTester.vbp file and add a Reference to the ProperCaseName dll that you just compiled. Run the DllTester project.

There is an easy way to do this and not even need a refrence to the DLL. Just replace Dim x As New ProperCaseName.clsName with
dim x as Object
Set x = CreateObject("ProperCaseName.clsName")
Wow, you just created a plug in!
