  The API-32  which is all the magical things that windows does is a bunch of DLLs.

  There is a utility called the Dependency Analyzer (Depends.exe) that allows you to examinine programs and DLL's that they call. You can see their entry points with it.

  Yes you can create one  Start a new project of the type class library.

   

  The class library can contain any classes which you might add to a windows project.  If you compile htem as a class library then you will need to add a reference to the dll in the project which is going to use the functions stored in the libary.  Then you can use those functions in the same way as the functions you create inthe project itself

  dll stands for dynamic link libary.  They usually contain a bunch of methods and functions which are compiled separately into the dll.  This library can then be used by many different programs.  The libraries can be called from your project.  the dotNET framework is basically a bunch of dlls
