Don't ask me to search on google please, I've tried Thanking in advance,KurtA DLL is a dynamic link library.Think of it as, a program with functions, and other programs can call those functions.You make them in C/C++ - If you google for a tutorial on how to write a dll, you will get alot of good stuff.

AceLoc Posted October 30, 2006 Share Posted October 30, 2006 Dynamic-link library (DLL), also known as dynamic link library (without the hyphen), is Microsoft's implementation of the shared library concept in the Microsoft Windows (and OS/2) operating systems. These libraries usually have the file extension DLL, OCX (for libraries containing ActiveX controls), or DRV (for legacy system drivers). The file formats for DLLs are the same as for Windows EXE files that is, Portable Executable (PE) for 32-bit Windows, and New Executable (NE) for 16-bit Windows. As with EXEs, DLLs can contain code, data, and resources, in any combination. In the broader sense of the term, any data file with the same file format can be called a resource DLL. Examples of such DLLs include icon libraries, sometimes having the extension ICL, and font files, having the extensions FON and FOT.
