Bruce, >Some of my colleagues express negative feelings towards including multiple >DLL's with their application. You are correct – MS has "intended this to be the norm". Like any other situation where people have "objections", this is a case of identifying the objections and educating the person as to the whys and wherefores. The real advantage of DLL's doesn't become apparent until you have *two* apps that use the DLL. In that case, it's very obvious because you can explain that the two apps "share" the DLL code. So, the way I would approach it would be to say "we're doing it this way to provide for upward compatibility at a later date. Future programs we ship will use the same DLL and will result in faster installation/setup and ultimately require less disk space." Mark There is 1 Reply.
