What is a DLL?
I know its a dynamic link library or something like that, but Im a little confused on how one is used, what's in them, and why they aren't simply executables?
Could Someone plz explain.

B. That was a lousy answer
Luckily I found out on my own what a .dll no thanks you guys and shit answers like that.
To anyone who wants to know:
A DLL is a Dynamic Linked Library. DLL are resource files for executing programs. So the flow of execution can shift quickly between the .dll and the executing program. What's more important it that .dll's can be shared by multiple processes or programs. This makes them a very powerful tool between sharing information between to programs. .dll can also be forcefully injected into a process and hook certain function and even read keyboard input from inside that process. This is why .dll are such important tools for gamehacking.
Lastly a .dll can not run itself. Another program has to call it for it to run so injecting it would set a call to run that .dll along with the rest of the program.
Not just resources but 'anything'... same thing as an exe but needs to be 'hosted'. and flow between exe and dll being slow? never heard of that one! it's basically seamless
Anyway.. same reason why you start putting stuff into classes is the reason why you start putting stuff in DLLs.. It just makes sense from an architecture perspective. If you for instance take your encryptor program and want to use it with different front-ends (or even allow other to use it) putting it in dll would be the way to go. or another simple scenario is a plugin for something like photoshop/3dsmax etc. These are not meant to run on their own, but provide new functionality.
for any larger project i RARELY have just 1 exe, but split things up in logical chunks and stick those in DLLs

Opps sry. did I write can't I meant to write can :L.... edit.
Cool. So add-ons and plug-ins are .dll'd too? So when I get a flash plugin for my browser or something that would be a .dll?
That really depends on the application you 'plug in' to. But let's take an example that is really close to us: Olly. Plugins written for Olly are DLLs.
basically any 'chunk of code' that is designed to be used by another process is usually a dll
Think of it as the extras that go together with you pc when you purchase one
DLLs are basically wrappers for code to be executed by a main process
In these parts codes are malicious

a DLL file contains all the functions a program needs to run...
