Hello
what kind of programming environment is used for making so small dll files like pizmidi programs? Is it possible to use some free programming environments? Any documentation and tutorials on making midi plugins with those programs?
thanks

You might be able to use the free, open source GNU tools (if you have a *nix box they're all probably installed already) or Cygwin's ports if you prefer a Windows box.

If you prefer an IDE rather than working on the command line, Microsoft provides a free "lite" version of Visual Studio, their IDE with support for C++ (which you'll need), C#, and Visual Basic:

Disclaimer: I'm a Borland/Embarcadero user, so the C++ environment I use isn't the same as Microsoft's and I can't answer questions about compiling pizmidi .dll files using C++ Builder (which isn't available free anyway).
