To expand Rob's mail, this is a part of a document I wrote some time ago which discuss this metter:

---------------
The documentation recommends the _declspec( dllexport) methods because it generates a code without a thunk. It also says that using both methods does not cause any build error, but does not mention if there are any advantages/disadvantages using both methods. My tests , on the other hand, have shown that we get the advantage of both methods if we use both: The generated code was without the thunk just like using _declspec( dllexport), and all DEF file manipulations like ordinal number assigning, using an alias name and specifying NONAME did work. So one can use DEF file and _declspec( dllexport) instruction to gain the feature of both methods, but still I could not find in the official documentation anything that support this saying�.
