But you don't need those files after compilation. &nbsp;The compiler creates and uses them. &nbsp;After that any computer can extract the exported functions directly from the COM iunknown interface.

I created a text ActiveX DLL in visual Basic to add two numbers. I clicked on Make Test.DLL.<br />
It creates two more additional files namely Test.exp and Test.Lib along with Test.Dll.<br />
I want more information about these two additional files.<br />
<br />
Thanks in advance.

What are EXP and LIB files which are created along with DLL?

Visual Basic is Microsoft’s event-driven programming language and integrated development environment (IDE) for its Component Object Model (COM) programming model. It is relatively easy to learn and use because of its graphical development features and BASIC heritage. It has been replaced with VB.NET, and is very similar to VBA (Visual Basic for Applications), the programming language for the Microsoft Office product line.
