What is a .dll?
A DLL (Dynamic Link Library) is a file that can be loaded and executed by programs dynamically. Basically it's an external code repository for programs. Since usually several different programs reuse the same DLL instead of having that code in their own file, this dramatically reduces required storage space. A synonym for a DLL would be library.
How is a .dll file used?
A DLL file can be used by several applications at the same time. Some DLLs are provided with Windows System and available for any Windows based application. Other DLLs are written for a particular application and load when the application is running.
