    I am with Richard - He forgot to mention that you could also make it a static library (*.lib). In other news: A Java backend, Windows Service or RESTful API would probably do the job, too - You get the idea.

    No, I deliberately did not mention it since very few people seem to understand that such a thing exists, even though in practically every case, it would be more efficient than a DLL.

      Alright, I didn't want to accuse you of anything wrong - I think it is easier to use, and, in most cases it is faster.

        thanks for your reply.. if i dont want to use the DLL or COM as well as the EXE, is there is any other way to execute the application??? as we know that application will open by calling the "CreateWindow" and "ShowWindow" function. can we call such function from another application??????????

          You didn't; I was just explaining why I only suggested a DLL - but I may also suggest .LIB in future. ;)

            Then you need to convert it to a DLL, or a COM server.

            I am using VC++/C++ in my product, in which i want to add one functionality (Picture Viewer). Which I got from NET, shown in the following link. http://www.codeproject.com/Articles/5065/Thumbnails-viewer-and-image-processing-using-GDI-a Now I want to add this functionality in my product (simply when user clicks the button).

              Then you need to take the source code from the article and modify it to your needs.

                  Is that down vote or just a minor up?
