Writing DLL's in Managed C++

[Guest]

Hi

I am currently working on a managed c++ project. I have a part of the code that is quite isolated from the rest of the project and wanted to encapsulate it in a DLL so that it could be updated independent of the executable. I am just learning how to work with DLL projects and was wondering if I have the right idea of how they work. Can I put the classes that are isolated in a DLL project and just include those in the main project like I do for mscorlib.dll? And if so, does it read from that at runtime so that I could just replace the DLL with a newer copy without rebuilding the project

Thank you
Tim

Yes. We even have a managed C++ Library project type.
