Now navigate to the drive partition where Windows is installed. Open the Windows folder. Inside it you will find a folder named System Open the System32 folder.

If you cannot spot the DLL files at first sight, right click on an empty space inside the System32 folder. A small menu will pop up. Now Windows will arrange the DLL files in the folder side by side, allowing you to view those more comfortably. You are free to view the DLL files as much as you want.

It will not harm your PC in any way. Typically, you would use one header file that has a define statement and an ifdef statement to separate the export statement and the import statement. You can also use a module definition file to declare exported DLL functions.

When you use a module definition file, you do not have to add the function keyword to the exported DLL functions. The following code is an example of a definition file. In load-time dynamic linking, you must link the SampleDLL. In run-time dynamic linking, you use code that is similar to the following code to call the SampleDLL.

With the introduction of. NET and the. An assembly is a logical unit of functionality that runs under the control of the. An assembly physically exists as a. An assembly file contains an assembly manifest, type metadata, Microsoft intermediate language MSIL code, and other resources. The assembly manifest contains the assembly metadata that provides all the information that is required for an assembly to be self-describing. The following information is included in the assembly manifest:.

The MSIL code that is contained in the assembly cannot be directly executed. By default, when you create an assembly, the assembly is private to the application.

To create a shared assembly requires that you assign a strong name to the assembly and then publish the assembly in the global assembly cache. The following list describes some of the features of assemblies compared to the features of Win32 DLLs:. When you create an assembly, all the information that is required for the CLR to run the assembly is contained in the assembly manifest.

The assembly manifest contains a list of the dependent assemblies. Therefore, the CLR can maintain a consistent set of assemblies that are used in the application. In an assembly manifest, version information is recorded and enforced by the CLR. Additionally, version policies let you enforce version-specific usage.

In Win32 DLLs, versioning can't be enforced by the operating system. You must make sure that DLLs are backward compatible. Assemblies support side-by-side deployment. One application can use one version of an assembly, and another application can use a different version of an assembly.

Starting in Windows , side-by-side deployment is supported by locating DLLs in the application folder. Additionally, Windows File Protection prevents system DLLs from being overwritten or replaced by an unauthorized agent. An application that is developed by using an assembly can be self-contained and isolated from other applications that are running on the computer. This feature helps you create zero-impact installations. An assembly is run under the security permissions that are supplied in the assembly manifest and that are controlled by the CLR.

An assembly can be developed by using any one of the supported. NET languages. For example, you can develop an assembly in Microsoft Visual C , and then use the assembly in a Visual Basic. NET project. Deploying and Configuring Applications.
