[SDK] Microsoft Visual Basic 2010 won't open DLL

[Inthegrave]

When I launch the program and select the CvGameCoreDLL.dll it just comes up blank.
I'm not sure what I am doing wrong. I am modding Civ 4 and using Rise of Mankind A New Dawn as my base.

Regarding civ4, compiling the dll file is a one way operation. It turns C++ code into machine code and you can't go back to C++. Yes I know there are games where you can do that, but they use managed code and civ4 use unmanaged.

What you should do is to find the source code (a bunch of .cpp and .h files) and then open the project file, which is .vcproj or .vcxproj.

Interesting, I guess I just assumed you could open a DLL directly considering I see people on these forums use other mods as bases all the time.

Is this what I want?:

Yes, that is source code you can compile. Note that compiling the DLL is not as trivial as installing VS2010, though. See here for reference.
