EXE and DLL in Windows are in the PE format.
OBJ is very similar to PE and is called the COFF format.
Here is an article on parsing LIB files.

compiled code.

OK, the answer is a bit longer than that...
.obj files are your compiled .C/.CPP files.
.lib files are library files, and are a collection of .obj files for later use.
.exe files are actual programs. The are linked from obj and premade lib files.
.dll files are similar to exe's, but cannot be run on their own. They hold collections of functions for other programs to call.
I'm not going to write an essay for you on this, as this sounds very homeworky. But there are good articles on DLLs here on this website.
Look at the thread 3 before your post: dll creating in win32[^]
As you are the 3rd person to ask nearly the same question within a few hours, are you all in the same class?

In addition to Superman's explantion, we've got something excellent here
Check for Object File[^]
The "Object file" you see inside a square means the .obj file you are talking about.
The "C++ Link libraries" that you see in a external square refers to something called as ".libs ".
An .exe is an executable. Unlike a dll, it can execute on it's own.It has an entry point like the "main()" you see in C++. Of course there are other types of .exes that wouldn't concern here now.

Any program that you can run is an exe file like Excel/mspaint/photoshop and... if you write a project on the Visual Sutdio(c++,C#,...) then you can compile it if it doesnt any problem you can run it on the current OP(it depends to your project).
Dll files has some functions and parameters you can shift your code on the dll files and use of them on the other enviroments like c++,C# you can reduce size of your exe file with them and also you can save sapce RAM (What is a Windows DLL File [^])
And see Dynamic-link library[^] on the see also you can see other info that you will be need like:
(Dependency Walker, functions of DLL and EXE files.,Dynamic library
Library (computing),Linker,Loader (computing),Object file,Shared library,
Static library ).
BTW dot forget ; on the end of c++ statements.

the right question is : "why do you need to know this exactly ?"
are you planning to write a compiler ?

Hello
Suppose a directx based game(like nfs) is running. I want to grab the buffer which is shown in desktop(all frame). Actually the scenerio is like that: Game's Front buffer will capture by my application then modify this buffer(like my own text will add) and finally display my own buffer data as a game.
Does anybody have some ideas how to do this? If any ideas please let me know.
Regards
Kallol Kumar

May be I should have explained better.
I have VS2005 Professional edition. The Expression edition is only for VC# & VC++. We need not even count the latter. You asked for VC6.0 & VS2005 right? There's no problem at all. What exactly do they say? I'm not sure if there are any exceptions.

Your admins are talking rubbish - I've had professional editions of VC6, VS2003, VS2005 and VS2008 on the same machine with no issues whatsoever.

Yep that's true. I've been working on plain vanilla C++ & STL. And 2005 was all perfect to work with. Now I'm tired of keeping WCP,WPF,Sliverlight & all as buzzwords. So came out of the rock and installed 2008 express editions with 3.5 framework. But didn't try anything with that yet.

Your loops are heavy if you want to monitor changes on files/folders codeproject has good articles for it you can see them for more info.

I've installed
Visual Studion 6.0, Visual Studio 2005 Team Edition, Visual Studio 2008 Professional edition in my PC. All these living together without making any problems.
What your administrators mentioned seems the new Deployment model of.
Visual C++ 2005 (2008 as well) supports a new deployment model for Windows client applications based on the idea of isolated applications and side-by-side assemblies. You can know more information from MSDN.[^] Please check

just for information, this does not exist.
you can find either VS.NET (which is VS 2003) or VS2005 (MS removed the ".NET" in later editions because it was confusing people too much about "can I code native code with VS.NET ?")...
anyway, for your question, like other people replied to you, there's absolutely no problem in installing several versions of Visual Studio in the same machine.
So I'm curious about why your admin says so... any experiments ?

Hi,
I want to run myapp.exe while starting the CE device machine
So that it runs in the background forever till the machine turns of
I have added the values in HKLM\init key in registry
so that "Launch70" = "myapp.exe" and depend70 value
But still i face the challenge that while restarting the machine it does nothing
could anyone help me to figure out where i am lacking now in this regard.
I want myapp.exe to run on each time the system(Device) gets started without importing my exe everytime.
Thanks in Advance
