    hey a dll file is nothing but a class library

    It is collection of classes that are explicitly so that their functionality can be accessed anywhere in a project if you want such as a dotnet project

    DLL stands for Dynamic Link Library. These are the libraries (collection of subroutines or classes) which can be dynamically loaded by other programs.

    The DLL is based on shared library concept but is specific for Microsoft Window's machine. Linux also have concept of shared libraries and in Linux the shared libraries have extension as .so.

    Refer below link for a short tutorial on creating and using shared libraries on Linux machine.

    It stands for Dynamic Link Library, a library of executable functions or data that can be used by a Windows application.
    Typically, a DLL provides one or more particular functions and a program accesses the functions by creating either a static or dynamic link to the DLL.😀

    In a nut shell, a dynamic link library (DLL) is a collection of small programs, which can be called upon when needed by the executable program (EXE) that is running. The DLL lets the executable communicate with a specific device such as a printer or may contain source code to do particular functions.

    DLL stands for Dynamic linking,
    DLL uses system process to run, so DLL is "in-process", Its Much faster
