Re: Add dll reference to C# project

Unfortunately the DLLs created by Corman Lisp are standard Windows Win32 DLLs, 
and they are neither assemblies nor COM components.

A .NET assembly, although it uses a .dll extension and is a PE (portable 
executable) format, is a very different thing from a normal DLL. It is all 
managed code, compiled to run under .NET. Corman Lisp does not currently 
support .NET.

You can certainly run it from Visual C++, even from Managed C++ code under 
.NET. However, C++ offers transparent ability to link to Win32 DLLs and C# does 
not. There may be some way to do it but I don't know C# well.
