The problem is ur creating a executable file
hence the compiler is looking for ur main method..

Inorder to create a DLL file u have to some manipulation in the project properties.
i.e open ur project properties window and select the link tab.
change the output file from exe to DLL and the "Project Options" text box change the "subsytem console"  to "dll"
