I have just started learning C# and ASP.NET for my project and i need to use the VIPS(VIsion based Page Segmentation) DLL but i don't know how to go about doing that as im new to C# and ASP.NET.I know how to create and use a simple DLL using C# but then i want to know how to find out the names of the classes and/or functions inside the VIPS DLL and how to use it.I have tried 2 or 3 DLL viewers and disassemblers but the output they gave is in asm format which is very hard to read and understand.So how do i use the dll ?

Is this DLL a .NET assembly? If so, just add a reference to it. Then you can double click the reference and view the assembly in the object browser. If not, I don't know how to help with that.

Thank you for your reply.No the VIPS DLL is not a .NET assembly.I don't know which kind of DLL it is.It's a DLL made by an Asian Microsoft Research team.

Something that's this much of a niche product, you'd likely have better success contacting the author(s).

Thanks.I've tried emailing one of the developers of VIPS but i haven't got a reply yet.
