ExecDLL Description

The ExecDLL application was developed to be a small tool that will allow you to decide DLL path, function name, parameter types and parameter values at run time and execute that function residing in Win32 DLL. Most of us know about reflection (Example: Windows COM, .NET) and its flexibilities. Have you ever wondered how to accomplish reflection in Win32 DLL? Here is the funny tool that resulted from that kind of my thought. "Uh!.. Reflection in Win32 DLL", oops!.. don't believe 100%. Don't worry, you can't accomplish perfect reflection in WIn32 DLLs in a simple way. In perfect reflection, you don't need the knowledge of source, function, parameters & types until its usage. When considering Win32 DLL, I feel late binding is some sort of reflection (don't accuse me, just an opinion). Late bound DLLs can do without the path name, function name until its usage, but need the function argument type list to compile. It seems late binding is impossible when you don't know the parameter list & type until execution.
