    C++ library supported DLL

    Hello everyone,


    Are there some formal documents about which physical files contain C++ related libraries' implementation on Windows (i.e. something like mscvp*, to run and build C++ application, all required static lib, import lib and DLL)?

    How about the physical files for C (i.e. CRT) and for all Windows API?

    BTW: maybe my question should be asked in another way -- the frequently used DLLs (like user32.dll) and related functions, import libraries and static libraies for Windows platform?


    thanks in advance,
    George

    Huh? What are you actually asking for?

    Which DLL and which header file you need for a particular function is documented in the builtin help and MSDN for all Windows and C Runtime functions. The library file you need is the same name as the DLL.

    It not necessary be the same - but in most pages it will be listed as well at the end of page:
    Requirements
    Client Requires Windows Vista.
    Server Requires Windows Server 2008.
    Header Declared in Http.h.

    Library Use Httpapi.lib.

    DLL Requires Httpapi.dll.
