[Request Help] C++ executable for debug session .dll

Because a DLL can't execute alone, it needs an executable to run in.

If you're making a DLL that is to be injected, just inject it into whatever you need to. If not, load it using LoadLibrary and import whatever you're exporting from it?

From the executable, import whatever functions you are exporting from the DLL.

Them darn Koreans always trying to take over... *Cough*
Anyway, if it means anything I think like 99% of my posts are in the c++ section. I only posted once or twice outside of it.

Anyway, a dll (in stupid terms) is like a file that just holds all the commands to do. It doesn't have anything to execute as a windows application, rather, it can be used by windows applications. So when you compile the dll, it makes a file then from there you would inject that file into a process (your game) or something and then your code in the dll would execute.

(Tried to make it as simple as I could)

Oh mah gawd... this might actually be the first time I agree with the korean ;o

Go and double click any DLL on your computer, and see what it does.

Idk... Koreans been trolling a long time. So many accs I can't keep up. Kinda funny that he would be the one to tell you the sdfu though...

Point is a DLL = Dynamic Linked Library.
All they are are libraries. Sorta like the "static" libraries you use all the time for function like cout and cin. If you didn't code it chances are the library code is being "linked" into your program. The only difference is DLL's load or "link" at runtime (hence their name). An executable can load a DLL quite simply, by using the LoadLibrary() API. Upon loading the DLL will have a chance to execute its main method, but plenty of DLL's don't run any code, but simply do nothing and export code when needed.
