so can i change the console application to windows application..i have interface that need to make a dll..can i do that??.

When you create a DLL the compiler will generate two files -- one with dll extension and the other with lib extension. Then when you compile the application program (console or windows) you tell the commpiler to link with the DLL's *.lib file. You will have to manually create a header file that prototypes the functions you exported in the DLL so that the header file can be used in the application program.

Here are some google links and videos you will want to study.
