While pterosaurs, the flying reptiles that lived during the Age of Dinosaurs, were not dinosaurs, paleontologists now classify modern birds as dinosaurs. There was also the relatively recent discovery of microraptor, a small feathered relative of velociraptor that may have had a limited flight capability.

How were pterodactyls differant from most dinosaurs?

Pterodactylus and other flying reptiles, collectively known as pterosaurs, do not belong to the clade Dinosauria, and thus aren't dinosaurs. This is because they did not evolve from the common ancestor of all dinosaurs. All dinosaurs were terrestrial animals, and with the exception of birds, they couldn't fly. All pterosaurs were winged quadrupeds, and at least most of them were capable of flight.
