modular programming

[DG]

Please correct me if i'm using a wrong term.

I want to programm functionality and pack it to .dll
Then, have an application look in 'modules' folder and depending on
available .dll-s display available functionalities.

What is term for this kind of programming, can you provide me with MSDN
topic?

Thanx.
