i'm new to visual fortran as i saw i project/add to project/files i can add so many type of files to my project i surprised when i saw that i can add exe/dll/ocx files too. but how i can add these type of files, and how i can use them? also i don't know that the build command whill embed those file to my project or not? regards Reza
You can add any kind of file you like to your project, but for the exe/dll/ocx type, it doesn't have any effect on building your application. If you want to link against a DLL, you need its export library (.LIB), not the DLL itself.
so it is good for what?! why they put this option to fortran when it is not useful at all?!!! i don't think so, i think it must be usefull. how? i don't know.
For example, I find it useful to have documentation (for my own projects) in .txt/.htm/.pdf/.doc inserted into the project so it's just one click away. I agree that adding .exe/.dll/.ocx is not very useful, but also I see no reason to limit the feature only to certain formats.
