Re: is it possible to integrate an Net SNMP sub agent(.dll) with Microsoft SNMP service ?

But Dave, All the SNMP data is in TLV(ASN.1) format. That is why third party clients(like snmpwalk, getif) are able to connect to snmp service and able to read those datas.-- If I am not wrong.
So If we use mib2c tool to generate the code template(which uses Net-snmp api's) and to integrate with the Snmp service if we implement SNMP Extension API Functions, It should work.
Do you forsee any issue?
Thanks

No.

The Net-SNMP agent and MIB module APIs do not use the Microsoft
SNMP Agent API, so things cannot be integrated in that way.

If the Microsoft agent supported the Internet standard AgentX
mechanism, then you could run the Net-SNMP-based agent as an
AgentX client. But AFAIK, the MS agent doesn't support AgentX.

It would doubtless be useful if someone could develop an
MS-SNMP interface for the Net-SNMP agent - either for plugging
Net-SNMP-based modules into the Microsoft agent, or MS-based
modules into the Net-SNMP agent.
But until someone supplies the necessary code, that's not
going to be possible.
