What are the advantages of using dynamic link libraries?
Do programmers still use dynamic link libraries or is there something
better to use?

..NET uses DLL's in a way that are conceptual similar to traditional
native .DLL usage, but the content is different they are usually
referred to as assemblies. And there are not a natural way to do
a static link in .NET at al (ILMerge is a workaround). So obvious .NET
uses dynamic linking, which in .NET terminology is called
reference assemblies.

In the native world DLL's are very mush used as well. But are
somewhat off topic in this group. I am sure Google can find
plenty of good arguments for linking dynamic.
