I am using a static DLL in a client application say a
console application , when the client application is
executed in visual studio6.0 it's working fine when i
built and executed the same client application in
unmanaged visual studio .net 2003 environmet it gives run
time error for function parameter that needs memory
allocation on heap.
I want to know whether the problem is due different
version of compiler's at client and server end . Is there
any solution without rebuilding the DLL in .net 2003 .

Yes, that's likely to be the issue.

Only to re-design the interface so that it doesn't pass any heap
allocated parameters across the library boundary - or uses some other
shared common memory allocation that's not compiler dependent.
