DLLs are shared libaries. For example, i could write a card game DLL with a number of shared functions (shuffle, deal x cards etc...) and then use it for many programs (blackjack, poker etc..)

TRY MY SUGGESTIONS AT YOUR OWN RISK

Hi,

DLL->Dynamic Link Library.
Suppose u want to connect to a database or generate a Report, u need some Objects, These Objects allow u to connect to DB's or do whatever task, They are called as Dll's. They have certain Properties, Members,Objects ,Methods. They act as a Layer between VB Interface and the Back Layer.
Users need not worry how the Dll's work, but once a Dll is included in the project, they can take full use of all the Methods/properties Exposed.

Regards
Veena
