hi Huw Collingbourne,

thanks for your reply.

the problem I have now is that I want to hook up my codes (all c++ 
developed in visual studio 2005) with SketchUp (google product). 
SketchUp has a ruby interface so that I can grep data from model and 
dump them into my codes, and my codes will spit the results back to 
SketchUp through Ruby interface.
Now the questions are:
  a. how can I compiled my codes into dll so that ruby can call ( can 
"ruby in steel" do it?)
  b. Installation issues as it all relates with .net and sketchup or any 
other application should be able to find the system lib. I am not sure 
whether SketchUp has manifest files, but if not, that will that affect 
the plugin? If it is vc6.0, then you can copy system dlls around, but it 
is not the case with .net.

hope anyone can give some inputs. If ruby talks vs2005, it is huge gains 
for all.

Eric
