VS 2008 & MicroStation API

Hi All,

 I'm trying to get started with the MicroStationAPI. I think I've read all that there is to read about the API now!

 I'm a little confused, when I create my MFC DLL project in VS2008, there is no DllMain which supposedly should have been created automatically. A few questions about the generated solution;

  • Should the rc files be removed from the project, or are they ok to stay there? Can MFC dialogs be used within the dll?
  • Can VS be used to create the *.mc files when building the application?
I've also been looking at Jon's la-solutions links which are very informative & helpful, I think I'm just getting a little confused over the differences between MDL & the MicroStation API.

One more thing, I'm looking at developing an app for MicroStation v8i.

If anybody could give me a few pointers it would be greatly appreciated.
