DLL is an abbreviation for "Direct Link Library". DLLs are libraries of code used in programming for applications to work with the windows operating system and other applications. Libraries also offer multiple functions in one file. For example, say there's a DLL file named "audiotools.dll" and in this file there would be code for loading, playing, recording, and editing audio files. The programming terminology for utilizing a DLL function is "calling a DLL".

∙ 12y agoDLL (Dynamic Link Library) files are basically "support" files for certain types of software. They are generally (but not always) found in your Windows System directory.
They work like this: Let's say a program needs to perform an operation. Rather than all the coding being built into the program, it uses a particular DLL file that, with a simple call, can perform the operation for it. Saves lots of programming time, especially since many of the common DLL files are already installed with Windows.
I've also had lots of people ask about deleting these files. Well, the best advice is not to, since many of your DLL files are used by more than one program. Going through and deleting the ones you *think* aren't being used anymore is a lot like getting under the hood of your car and yanking wires that don't look important.
If you're really concerned about stray DLL files, make sure you run uninstall programs. Most programs include an uninstall program that will (should) take out all the extra DLL's.
Most of the time if you hit the Start button, Programs, then go to the program's listing, you can find an uninstall program. You can also click the Start button, Settings, Control Panel, and open the Add/ Remove programs icon. A screen will pop-up that can uninstall the software for you (again, it's not foolproof, but it's better than playing guessing games with your DLL's).
If you remove a DLL file during an uninstall, it may be shared by another program, so when you run the other program, you will receive a missing file error message.

What programs do you download to run DLL files?
Normally none. A Dynamic Link Library contains executable code that is not meant to be executed standalone, but in context with some hosting software. Typically, that host is a standalone executable (.exe). For example, Word for Windows loads a number of DLLs when running. These DLLs provide all kind of services, tools and data to the Word application, and through the application to the user. These DLLs are not normally designed, or capable of, running stanadalone. Exceptions exist. Windows screensavers or control panel applets are DLLs (which are run through an operating-system service), and Windows supplies a generic DLL host (RUNDLL.EXE) to execute apropriately designed DLLs.
How do you program with .dlls?
Introduction to DLLs......DLLS as the name suggests are the Dynamic Linked Libraries, majorly comprises of the Classes (inclusive of Constructors, Procudures and Function) in case of Object Oriented Paradigm, and / or procedures / functions in case of Procedural Language, are basically used to provide a Service / serve the Application in question!!!Towards the Question ......DLLs cannot be executed directly rather its been made call by any of the Application running. So while Designing an Application, the Dlls are either imported or rather is refered to/by the application program.For Example :-In VB.NET the syntax for importing a DLL to an application is as belowimports somedll.In C#.NET the sysntax isusing somedll;where "somedll" is a dll file name (somedll.dll)that has been imported from the Computer's HDD mem0ry.Based on this import of dlls we create either an object or directly make a function call located in that DLL file, like here it is somedll.dll...........
