Manifests

[NewsArchive]

Hi Friedrich,

Not 100% related to SB, but I'm wondering if manifests need to be
linked into dlls? My gut feeling is that they only ever need to be
linked into exes, but who knows? I'm sure you do!:)

Hi Arnór,

Depends on the type of your DLL <g>. But I assume you have "standard" Win32
..exe and .dlls written in Clarion. In this case, you only embed the
manifest into your .exe.

If you are using the Microsoft Visual C Runtimes (VS2005 SP1 and higher),
the runtime dlls require special assembly loading instructions in MANIFEST
resource included in each .exe and .dll that want to load them. But that's
another story and I think you are not doing this.

I'm working on a dll in VC++ 2005 which is part of my product but I
don't have any windows in it so I think I'm ok:) I was linking
version resources into it yesterday and got thinking about the
manifest<g>

Such a DLL is no problem and you should not add a manifest to it.

Cool:) Confirms what I thought, but this is such a different animal
from Clarion that I'm trying to be careful and cover everything<g>
