Dynamic-link library (DLL)

Dynamic Link Library(DLL) ADVANTAGES Uses Fewer Resources LITE AND RELIABLE When multiple programs use the same library of functions, a DLL can reduce the duplication of code that is loaded on the disk and in physical memory Easy To Use EASES DEPLOYMENT AND INSTALLATION When a function within a DLL needs update or a fix, the deployment and installation of the DLL does not require the program to be relinked with the DLL. Additionally, if multiple programs use the same DLL, the multiple programs will all benefit from the update or the fix. Saves From Duplication TAKES LESS TIME TO APPLY Unlike a static link library, dynamic linking reduces the duplication of code and saves memory. Solve Multiple Problems ONE PRODUCT AND MANY SOLUTIONS A single DLL can be used by several EXE files at the same time that greatly saves HDD space.Thanks to DLL files, Windows operating system uses very few resources no matter what program or application is running Dynamic linking KEY FEATURE TO NOTE Dynamic linking helps develop large and multi-language applications, as well as programs requiring modular architecture. Furthermore, modular programming is possible only due to the concept of a DLL file.
