Can a DLL built using C# .NET be used by a DLL built with, for example, Borland C++? 4a. If the answer to 4 is "no" then what is the point of a DLL? Why dont the various frameworks use their own formats for linked files? For example: an .exe built in .NET knows that a file type of .abc is something that it can link into its code.
1)DLL file is a dynamic link library which can be used in exe files and other dll files. EXE file is a executable file which runs in a separate process which is managed by OS.
If a DLL is written in one of the .NET languages and if you only want to view what functions, there is a reference to this DLL in the project. Then doubleclick the DLL in the references folder and then you will see what functions it has in the OBJECT EXPLORER window. If you would like to view the source code of that DLL file you can use a decompiler application such as .NET reflector.
When I ship this program to a friend or other people, "it doesn't work" because "some DLL" is missing. This is of course because the program can find the DLL on my system, but not on theirs. Is there a way to scan an executable for DLL dependencies or execute the program in a "clean" DLL-free environment for testing to prevent these oops ...
I have a DLL file and I want to execute it on Windows. I obtained this DLL file from a challenge site which alleges the DLL should be executed independently.
14 A DLL is a library of functions that are shared among other executable programs. Just look in your windows/system32 directory and you will find dozens of them. When your program creates a DLL it also normally creates a lib file so that the application *.exe program can resolve symbols that are declared in the DLL.
162 I have a dll library with unmanaged C++ API code I need to use in my .NET 4.0 application. But every method I try to load my dll I get an error: Unable to load DLL 'MyOwn.dll': The specified module could not be found. (Exception from HRESULT: 0x8007007E) I have read and tried several solutions I have found on the internet. Nothing works..
