What is the difference between an EXE and a DLL?

Answer Posted / krishna mohan

The Anatomy of a DLL
Dynamic linking is a mechanism that links applications to
libraries at run time. The libraries remain in their own
files and are not copied into the executable files of the
applications. DLLs link to an application when the
application is executed, rather than when it is created.
DLLs may also contain links to other DLLs.

Note Many times, DLLs are placed in files with different
extensions such as .EXE, .DRV or .DLL.

Applications and DLLs can link to other DLLs automatically
if the DLL linkage is specified in the IMPORTS section of
the module definition file as part of the compile or you
can explicitly load them using the Windows LoadLibrary
function.
