A DLL file i.e. Dynamic-link-library file, is the implementation of shared library concept by Microsoft. It is implemented in the Microsoft Windows and OS/2 operating systems. DLL files are usually being used by a lot of programs in Microsoft’s operating Systems. The file formats for DLLs and Windows EXE files are same. DLLs can contain data, code and resources with the EXE files in any combination.
By using the Dlls modularization of code, code reuse, reduced disk space and efficient memory usage are promoted. This adds to the performance of the program as it loads faster, space taken is reduced and runs faster on the computer.
