The DLL Build Output

When a DLL is built, two library files are created:

• An import library (.LIB), which the linker uses to associate a main program with the DLL.
• The .DLL file containing the library's executable code.

Both files have the same basename as the library project by default.

Your library routines are contained in the file projectname.DLL located in the default directory for your project, unless you specified another name and location. Your import library file is projectname.LIB, located in the default directory for your project.
