I tried a very simple test case:

class C

Public Declare Sub ProdottoMMfor Lib "matrixfor.dll" (ByRef N As Integer,
ByRef M As Integer, ByRef L As Integer, ByRef A As Double, ByRef B As
Double, ByRef c As Double)

shared sub Main ()
	ProdottoMMfor (1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6)
end sub

end class

and it compiles, so could you please send the code you're using?

As Kornél said, you don't really have to recompile your application, you can
just copy it from your windows machine.
