Statically linked application - invalid or corrupt dll?

Static Linking" is the process of including the code in your application. By nature, a DLL is a dynamic link library and therefore no, including the DLL in the directory of your application is not static linking - it remains dynamic. The reason for placing it in the directory of the application is so that the application can find it without the need for install.

You shouldn't link directly against the DLL. Instead, link against the corresponding import library (should be Wininet. Lib).

The DLL still needs to be accessible to your application at runtime, of course. The . Lib file is needed by the linker to setup proper linkage to the DLL.

I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
