I'm not sure what you mean by "from the IDL code". If you mean can IDL
pro code be compiled into a DLL, the answer is no. But, the MAKE_DLL
routine will compile C code into a DLL.

It is possible to call IDL from within C code. The interface is called
Callable IDL. It is in the "All topics" tab of the online help under IDL
Programmers' Guides > External Development Guide > Part III: Techniques
that use IDL's Internal API > Callable IDL.
