i have been doing some looking at dlls. what exactly are all the uses of dlls...can they be used to store graphics? im guessing the main way to use them is to store code...or am i wrong? how do you go about creating dlls(with source and graphics? if possible). any help would be appreciated.

i am using Code::Blocks i开发者_运维百科de with mingW compiler.

dll - dynamic link library, refers to a shared library on microsoft platforms.

You should check this out and that should clarify your basically flawed understanding of what an dll is..

You're right, DLLs are meant for holding execution code.

However they can be used to embed images, using resources in Visual C++ but I don't think it's possible with Code::Blocks.

To create a DLL with Code::Blocks, simply create a new project with template "Dynamic Link Library".
