When DLL or Exe file Will Results?

Hi,
A DLL is library and it can not be executed. If we run we will get error. exe is program that can be executed. Exe files are used to launch an application as it contains start up funcions where as DLL is load into an application. One can not run them.DLLs have an export section where symbols are exported. Exes should never have an export section since they aren't libraries .

Thanks & Regards

DLL will result when you compile. And, In console application if you run the program then exe files will result.

I dont have much knowledge on this. If we like to convert any program to .exe(C,C++,java,jar) files some software tools are there. We can download if we want to convert. And console applications are nothing but windows applications.

Hi rajesh,
DLL is the source code for our deployed application .
both are the executable files.But main difference is that .exe can run independantly.But .dll can be part of the .exe.
So dll is the superset of exe.
DLL:
They can be reused and not self - executable , they don't have any main function

EXE:
They can not be reused and self - executable , they have main function

Both r executable files,.dll run in application process
memory,but .exe run in its own process memory.


To run any dll file we need a support for of EXE file

Hope it helps you..

Thanks and Regards

rajesh let me clear u one thing

in dll files we can't see the inner code we can just utilize that dll file where ever we want and the exe file we all know about that having some code on executing that files gives some result.
we can utilize the dll in the exe files

in a better way i can tell you is:
dll is like a function , if we need that function in our code we just include that dll and utilize that one

Thanks and Regards
