 # Walkthrough: Create and use your own Dynamic Link Library (C++)
 
-This step-by-step walkthrough shows how to use the Visual Studio IDE to create your own dynamic link library (DLL) written in C++, and then use it from another C++ app. DLLs are one of the most useful kinds of Windows components. You can use them as a way to share code and resources, to shrink the size of your apps, and to make it easier to service and extend your apps. In this walkthrough, you create a DLL that implements some math functions, and then create a console app that uses the functions from the DLL. Along the way, you get an introduction to some of the programming techniques and conventions used in Windows DLLs.
