Yes, that's what I thought. It's a very good idea but doesn't really
affect the validity of my reply from what I can see. Perhaps I
misunderstood your post. The core of your question seemed to be that
you wanted to instantiate objects inside your DLL and use those objects
from inside the EXE so I addressed the main issue arising from that.

In that case you can export and import class instances across the DLL
boundary. I still don't think it's a good idea, however. My concern is
that DLLs have the potential to be servers for anyone and everyone. By
exporting classes you are severely limiting them and one day you might
run afoul of that. This is especially true if your DLL grows beyond a
useful collection of functions and becomes a run time library.
