Is it possible to import data from .dll file type and then exporting the results to .dll. ?
We are planing to have a library that multiple programs can use simultaneously and DLL is our best choice.
Solved! Go to Solution.
DLL are not data files. DLL are dynamically loaded library (hence DLL) that are executable code files. The code within the DLL files can be used to read and write data to files of various types. I would recommend binary data files for numbers. The code in DLL's are loaded dynamically when Windows needs it.
DLL's can be purposly written for PTC Prime. See help.

Thank you that is helpful
Is that strictly true? I understood that there were non-executable DLLs that could store data; an example might be a resource DLL.

I haven't done any Windows programming for a long time, so I'm all too ready to admit my understanding is incorrect.
