How To Add a Dll TO MFC Application in visual Studio

I have an MFC GUI application project in Visual studio 2010.

I want to get communication with a mini circuit signal generator device. The device has a DLL file named mcl_gen64.dll.

I want to use functions of that DLL in my code but I don't have any idea how to do this: Any idea please?

typedef int (__stdcall *ConnectByAddressPtr)(short Addr); 

ConnectByAddressPtr ConnectByAddress = NULL;
HMODULE hLib = LoadLibrary(_T("mcl_gen64.dll"));
if (hLib)
    ConnectByAddress = 
(ConnectByAddressPtr)GetProcAddress(hLib,"ConnectByAddress");
if (ConnectByAddress)
    ConnectByAddress(0x01)

The dll should exist in your executable folder. Or if you debug it in VS, in your project's folder as well. Mind the "__stdcall" notation when defining the function pointer.
