VBA runtime error 453 with declare statement
I have a c# dll that I created in Visual Studio, and I want to import a method from it in Excel VBA.
So, I use the Declare
statement approach since I cannot register the library (company policies)
Private Declare PtrSafe Sub ExcelTest Lib "c:\CorrectPath\MyDll.dll" ()
Sub TestSub()
Call ExcelTest
End Sub
While my DLL has the following:
namespace Default_Namespace_of_the_Project
{
public static class ExcelTestClass //among many other classes, but this is the target one
{
public static void ExcelTest()
{
MessageBox.Show("Test Ok");
}
}
}
And yet, Excel keeps telling me I got a runtime error 453:
Specified DLL function not found
What is going on here? Why doesn't excel find the function? Is there a special attribute I need to add to the function? Does it need to be somewhere special in the DLL? How can I solve this?
