Different ways of loading DLL into MFC?

Question

What are the different ways to load a win32 or MFC DLL into an MFC application?

I know there are 2 ways to link a DLL. 1.) Include the lib file created with the DLL 2.) Using .def file and LoadLibrary function. Is there any other ways to link the DLL?

Answer 2

No, there are no other ways. It's either static or dynamic. Also, you don't need a .def file for LoadLibrary.
