The depends command (provided by MSVC) provides information on one dll both about the other libraries it depends on and the symbols (variables and functions) that it exports. I believe the information is at the right at a bit below center in the GUI. For a ParaView plugin, there are typically only one or two functions exported that provide the hooks to allow ParaView to load the plugin.

The library is still not loaded though. So now I'm looking at the dependencies and the Initialize function. Kenneth, how do I go about "making sure that the server manager initialization function is properly exported" ? I'm not sure I really understand what you mean ? Thanks Jacques 2008/12/16 David E DeMarle <dave.dema...@kitware.com> That sounds similar to a bug that Pat Marion fixed for the Streaming ParaView plugin under windows.
