this is a common question... it should be in a FAQ somewhere...
The most flexible option is the win32 API functions, but note that they are experimental, and sometimes hard to set up and use, but pretty dang cool:

The most stable solution (definately not the fastest) is to write a C++ command line application as a wrapper for your DLL, and then make calls to it with 'system' or 'exec'. Rock solid.
